- pvitz 3y agoI guess that you couldn't be fingerprinted by Google.
- humid9059 3y agoI am going to use public Searxes for comparison. The difference is that there is less noise from other users as it is limited to Mullvad subscribers, and there is presumably a smaller user base. Otherwise, there is probably little to no difference, considering that Searxes are not used by many in the same vein. However, self-hosting is the equivalent of directly using the search engine under your own IP, just without javascript. There is no noise from other users looking up unrelated queries.
