I run my own personal instance on a server, nobody else is really using it.
I also host it (locally). Added an Invidious instance as well ๐ค
Are you using your account for the Google API? If yes, doesn't it mine the privacy point of SearXNG?
No, it's just doing whatever it does by default for that. Being the only user does take away an element of anonymity, but I don't think it's to an unacceptable level. Sure, they might have a good idea of what I like to search, but they don't know what links I'm clicking on or interacting with, and I'm not seeing any ads from the searches. So I'm a totally useless data point in that regard.
Got it, thanks!
