I've been trying to find a good privacy respecting browser, but I can't really decide on what to use. I don't like the search results with Brave Search. DuckDuckGo shares my information with Microsoft and SearchXNG shows me NSFW images even with strict search on. I really like Presearch, but I'm not really sure what they're about.

EDIT: After tinkering with the settings of my SearXNG instance, it seems to have reduced the amount of NSFW images. I think I will stick with SearXNG for now.

You can just tell it not to search Chinese engines.

Didn't know that. I'll give it a try. Thanks!

Any changes you make in the settings are saved in a cookie, so as long as you don’t clear them your preferences on things like search engine will be saved, even if you don’t own the SearXNG instance you use.
