No. It’s for privacy. If they don’t support anonymous payments, there’s literally no reason to host a .onion site just to fool people. I’d say that’s a big red flag from a “privacy respecting” company.

I said:
I couldn’t care less as long as the language is good.
Why wouldn’t I care if the language is bad in my opinion?
Sure. It is open source, but the development is done by Apple engineers. I also would like to state that Go has trackers in it. I also don’t really care what the creator of a language is. Homophobe, sexist, racist or other similar stuff, I couldn’t care less as long as the language is good.
Yeah who cares. They got caught tracking and that is still a fact.
Oh great. Now I’m losing hope in this project even more.
No, not at all. They both are made for different purposes.
Welp, I haven’t seen anyone learn Swift other than for Apple stuff these days. So I wonder how many can actually contribute to the code. It’s also made by Apple, so yeah. It would have been more performant and secure (both of which are pretty important in a browser) if it was written in a more low level language. For example Rust.
It’s nice and all but usage of Swift is kind of not great.
Alright. You do you, pal.
That strikes me as a terrible idea given what some people search on the web. I have also never run a TOR exit node.
It is somewhat like a TOR exit node indeed. Though you can easily prove your innocence by saying that you did not make these searches but that you merely run a meta search engine that helps others protect their privacy. Even the TOR project has templates for exit nodes to submit them to the government or whoever is contacting them in those cases.

The instance’s IP
SearXNG is a meta search engine, which means it gets the search results from other search engines (Google, Bing, Qwant, etc.) and show them to you. It acts a proxy, thus hiding the users IP. This means Google can’t target ads based on your IP and also can’t make a profile about you.
I am not so sure about that. DDG has been caught tracking before. I wouldn’t trust them. They are also getting into AI bs.
Arch Linux
Gaming has not been a problem for me yet.
Proton works pretty good and games in Steam are starting to release builds for Linux as well because Steam Deck got popular (thanks Valve?) Minecraft Java also runs natively on Linux.
I do wonder why anyone would use Edge on Linux. I even wonder why anyone would even use Edge. Btw DDG uses Bing so you use the same search engine.
5 euros a month for 300 searches. Definitely not worth it. I live in germany.
I refuse to believe Proton when they do advertisements lol. They also are being pretty suspicious with ignoring XMR support since years of people requesting it. If they ever even considered it a bit, their new shit Proton Wallet wouldn’t allow you to store (or only store) bitcoin, which we all know has nothing that protects your privacy.
Why not run an SearXNG instance and help everyone instead? Y’know, Kagi is pretty expensive and they are also getting into AI shit.
Yeah, tell them that when they were trying to deanonymize tor users
