More about SearX and SearXNG Interfaces
SearXNG (GitHub page) is an ad-free metasearch engine that can combine results from seventy different search services.
SearXNG offers ad-free Google results, which are fresh, not cached results (like the ones found in StartPage). In addition, you can add Bing and Mojeek results into the mix. Overall, this makes the search results very relevant and diverse.
SearXNG development started in the middle of 2021 as a fork of the SearX project (GitHub page). Users are neither tracked nor profiled. Additionally, SearXNG can be used over Tor for online anonymity.
SearXNG has a better user interface, comes with light and dark versions, and works well on mobile browsers. An administrator can block and/or replace the URLs in the search results. Overall SearXNG is simple to maintain as an instance administrator.
SearXNG is a great tool, I am very annoyed when I search on Google, I come across a lot of ads
