Hello! Since I’m unable to find a public searxng instance that could work for more than a week and sadly cannot selfhost one, I’m looking for a replacement. I so found Swisscows, that promise to be privacy respecting, but here on lemmy didn’t find any opinion on it. Do any of you use it? Why or why not?
I’m also considering Qwant and Mojeek.

    Swisscows is a good and private search engine…if you have little childrens, because it’s family save level Flanders, yes or yes. I use mainly Andisearch, Mojeek and Whoogle, sometimes also Perplexity. Apart also specific ones (Pixabay, Wikipedia, Wolphram Alpha, some forums, etc…)

    https://andisearch.com/?query=%s (Default in the Adress Bar search)

    https://www.mojeek.com/search?q=%s (Default in the Search Bar)

    https://whoogle.io/search?q=%s (Alternative in the Search Bar)

    https://www.perplexity.ai/?q=%s (Dito)

        Confused about what? About my opinion on Swisscows, or about the suggest search engines i use? Swisscows is in strong familysafe settings, without options to change it, it respect privacy, but filter strict all NSFW content. The other are also privacy centred, most Andisearch, and way better for any researches. I also add them with the needed scripts, to make it easier to copy them in the browser search engine list and use them from the search bar, if someone want.

          I’m still confused. Are you saying swiss cows is bad because it doesn’t have nsfw content or are you saying its good for your family? I’m lost
