  • Sorry for the delay in reply.

    Thanks for the suggestion :). Even I myself hate ads and I avoid doing so, but I just did add that just to emphasize that my project is also open source and does not support ads. Because if I don’t add this then it can raise some doubts whether it is open source or not and whether it supports ads or not. So to make it clear, I added it :).

  • Sorry for the delay in reply.

    Yes, it is, but I just wanted to emphasize that my project is also open source and does support privacy. If I don’t add this then it can raise some doubts whether it is open source or not and whether it is privacy respecting or not. So to make it clear, I added it :).

  • I am sorry for being late to reply, I think I would suggest opening an issue on this topic here:

    https://github.com/neon-mmd/websurfx/issues

    Because I feel it would be better to have a discussion there. Also, I will be able to explain in more depth :).

  • Sorry for the delay in reply.

    Thanks for the suggestion :). Currently, we don't have any plans supporting windows and macOS because they are known notoriously bad for privacy reasons. And you may never know what they have in their source code like they are doing all notorious stuff, data mining, you name it. Because of which, we have no plans supporting it as of now, but if we get good amount of feature request in this are then we might consider adding support for these distros too :).

  • Sorry for the delay in reply.

    Great project, thanks for sharing.

    You're welcome :).

    Quick question: will this be self-hosted only or will there be a public instance or something the like?

    Yes, actually we are working on providing a page dedicated to allow everyone in the community to contribute their Websurfx instance which will allow others to use them and try them out. Something similar to what Searx does (searx.space). So right now it is still a work in process.

    Thanks for checking out my project :). Though right now we do not provide a public instance right now, but we are already working on this. Like we are working to provide a page dedicated to show all the instances hosted by the community members which will allow others to use them and try them out as well :).

  • Selfhosted @lemmy.world

    Websurfx - An open source alternative to Searx which aggregates results from other search engines (metasearch engine) without ads while keeping privacy and security in mind.

  • Yes, I totally agree with you Websurfx is a self-hosted metasearch engine, so you can host it on your local machine or a web server, and you can use it on a daily basis :).
