I normally default to SearxNG search engine but sometimes use swisscows.com.

For some reason, if I let FOSS browser remove the tracker portion of the search, it will no longer work. If I allow the tracker to be used, it works every time. I have tried multiple Searx engine instances, and they all seem to have the same issue.

    Thank you for introducing me to swisscows! Edit: does it only allow safe searching? Is there a way to turn off safe search?

      I don’t think so. It’s just build to auto filter NSFW and it is privacy focused. Note that the rumor mill tells of changes coming to Switzerland law that will make it worse that the privacy nightmare in the US. That would also impact Proton Mail and other trusted Swiss services.

        I did not know that about swiss law. Nsfw isnt deal breaker, I was just curious. Thank you very the education
