Certainly some things are rate limited, Brave and Startpage are particularly bad for this. I omit them from my endjinns in Searx settings.

If you can use Google through SearX, isn't Startpage redundant? IIRC they don't ever claim to do anything but proxy Google results.

isn’t Startpage redundant?

After they were purchased by an advertising company? Yes.

Yes, except in the case where Google is rate limited. There is/was a Searx instance that regularly got blocked by Google, I do not remember which one though.
