Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

It’s better from a privacy standpoint but ultimately still depends on other search engines indices (which ultimately are largely Google and bing)
Searxng is a meta search engine, it basically sends your query to a bunch of providers and then ranks its own results based on criteria (eg does it appear in results from multiple providers)
I also forgot that brave has its own index, I don’t know much about it. I don’t fuck with brave stuff
Yes agreed. But it does give you tools that let you control how results are presented, which can help to create a good experience and remove AI results.
