FBXL Social

@grey A searx instance is relatively light and gives you the possibility of seeing a bunch of results from search engines around the world. No ads, no special promoted links, just a bunch of search results from a dozen different search engines. I've been really happy using searx exclusively at home and at work.

There are some other cool things about using freedom respecting services based on FOSS. For example, I'm a black theme extremist. FBXL Social is black and red theme. FBXL Video is black and red theme. FBXL Search(the searx instance) is black and red theme. FBXL Lotide is black and red theme. FBXL Invidious is black and red theme. And my searx instance does youtube searches using invidious, so a huge chunk of my world is running the correct skin, as opposed to the sometimes white sometimes grey sometimes black of various services.

There's a plugin for chrome based browsers called Privacy Redirect that can take links to different big tech services and redirect to freedom respecting services. For example, I redirect twitter to poast's nitter instance, youtube to my lotide, reddit to libreddit, search engines to my searx instance, google translate to simplytranslate, and even wikipedia to wikiless.
