Yeah my goal in using SearXNG is really getting better results, not privacy, that's more secondary for me. It's pretty good at filtering out the clickbait crap. I guess every engine promotes its own clickbait.

And of course I block cookies and ads heavily, bypass paywalls, the works. I'm sure I'm pretty trackable anyway with so many addons. Also I'm probably one out of 10 that uses my specific OS/browser combo. So with fingerprinting they have got me anyway.

I run it on a VPS so I don't really care, that one is not used for exit traffic of any other kind except an IRC bouncer. And if I really need to I can just switch to another IP :P
