For reverse image search, Google is also becoming more and more useless. I usually also look on Yandex to identify fake profiles using photos of other people.

yes i also noticed google search is absolute trash lately. so i switched to searx and life is better. i only go to google for street view and reverse image search now.

Where does Yandex's money go these days?

I don’t know. Just noticed that their normal Russian web search redirects to “Dzen”, whereas images.yandex.ru is still showing as “Yandex”.

Searx instances always seem to be blocked by the engines they rely on though?
