  who says that about any search engine? can you trust them? searXNG is usually run by random people who are less likely to use your data than a larger search company

    At least with Google it wont be an individual that can open my data (most likely).
    Probably only the AI or whatever can actually read any of it directly.

  The devs at SearXNG have a bot that regularly scans the public instances for changes to the source code and delists them as a public instance if it’s altered.

  The software is free and open source. You are encouraged to inspect the code yourself to make sure no data is collected!

  If you’re using a shared IP, it doesn’t matter.

  You are using a VPN or Tor, right?!?
