I noticed it getting worse over the years. I switched to SearXNG last year when I felt Google was getting really ridiculous.
They started censoring a lot at some point, maybe because they had to, but that's not the only reason.
Are you self hosting?
Yes. That way you can create a blocklist, which is what makes it so good for me.
I've been hopping searxng instances for a year now and always noticed a couple seconds delay everytime I do a search. Does self hosting help with the delay?
I've tried some instances and I don't see a delay. My hosted version is a bit slower than public ones but that depends on your system, I guess.
