    SearX is selfhosted and adaptible to a great detail. You can run it as an .onion service, just like the DDG onionsite, and as it is selfhosted and OpenSource, it is really privacy-friendly. For optimal privacy, I recommend https://serx.neocities.org

    Search preferences for scrappers is significantly simplified in comparison to SearXNG, (4G's 5 vs. XNG's 11 not including individual engines used for scrapping.) Also generally more lightweight than SearXNG as it uses barely any JS save for the client script and JSON image previews.
