I looked into this a while back and came to the conclusion that the dev didn’t seem trustworthy. Also, just looking on the homepage, the images it showed me were a dildo with “4get” stuck on it using a sticky note and a modified manga panel about beating women. Not sure I’d want to use something like that in public.
Well, 4get use a scraper, so I can use searxng, startpage or any other indexer with it (including DuckDuckGo, google, yandex etc). And another thing is the fact that almost every instance has support for Tor hidden services (which I use). But in the the end is more of matter of preference, I’m more of a fan of the less modern frontend
Some searx instances have Tor as well ¯_(ツ)_/¯ But yeah, fair enough. I personally wouldn’t thrust a site with a massive dildo on the frontpage but to each their own haha
Been using 4get for some time now, I don’t think a search engine can get better than this

yeah, the dev seems kinda like a shitposter ngl (although there are some funny pictures in the front page)
However, I configured it as my default search engine, so I never go to the front page. Also, at least is free and open source (AGPL)
Why not just use searxng or startpage?

That’s fair hahaha
Not sure what I expected. For the equally curious with no foresight:
definitely a dildo with 4get stuck on it using sticky note
Uh… The spoiler didn’t work for me. Good thing I’m not in public 😂 Also - WTF? Why??
:( sorry to hear that. Out of curiosity, what app/UI are you using?
Sync for Lemmy, on Android. Tbh for some reason spoiler tags seem generally somewhat unreliable on Sync. Either way don’t worry about it too much.
