Hello! Since I'm unable to find a public searxng instance that could work for more than a week and sadly cannot selfhost one, I'm looking for a replacement. I so found Swisscows, that promise to be privacy respecting, but here on lemmy didn't find any opinion on it. Do any of you use it? Why or why not?
I'm also considering Qwant and Mojeek.

I didn’t like the rate limits on public instances and I am self hosting my own for me and my family. But maybe everything will be fine for you :)
