This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
I didn't say many sites will be favourable for us. But atleast there will be some sites.
We have have https://wiby.me for search websites with no fancy graphics, and all your concerns. Results are usually programmer centric though. Tried for 2-3 hours to find the name of this search engine lol
I was thrilled when #wiby.me was first introduced. Then for a while wiby.me was itself a Tor-hostile Cloudflare site. I’m glad you brought it up because it prompted me to check again & it seems at the moment wiby is a user-respecting non-Cloudflare site. Note there was another search engine similar to wiby which I can’t track down right now.. but it’s possible I’m confusing that other one with wiby. Err.. I think both were unusable for a while.
(edit) The other site is search·marginalia·nu. That’s the one that became a despicable CF site. I think wiby broke down for tor users for a while but glad to see at the moment that it’s still usable. I just got good results when searching for a recipe.
