Searx is very cool. It would be nice if I could configure my browser to rotate through different searx instances rather than configuring one as the default search engine. Btw the list of public nodes is here: https://searx.space/ https://searx.space/ What is the difference between SearXNG [0] ("next generation," i.e. the one you just linked) vs. SearX [1]? NG claims to be a fork, but it's not clear why? The main SearX has recent development activity.

> It would be nice if I could configure my browser to rotate through different searx instances rather than configuring one as the default search engine. That can be achieved using the Privacy Redirect [1] extension, set it to redirect search engine calls and it will use a random engine. The list contains more than just instances of Searx and can by default not be edited by users so you might have to get the source [2] and build a version with only those search engines you want to use. It can redirect many other corporate entities like Youtube, Twitter, Instagram (which does not really seem to work but since I never go there anyway I don´t really know), Reddit, Maps (Google etc) and others. I have it redirect to private instances of Invidious (for Youtube), Nitter (for Twitter) and LibReddit. I do not use search engine redirect since I run a custom Searx instance which doubles as an intranet search engine and as such offers more than any public instance.
