Just installed Searxist for android. It comes with options from searx.space built in. (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

So far so good. Not sure how it is in everyone else's phone, but if the instance doesn't work, I just swipe back, hit settings, and select another instance.

It's got Webveiw and seems nice. I can save boomarks to the bookmark app integrated with my OS but can't figure out how to access it on Searchist.

So have you tried it and what do you think? My only hangup is the bookmarks, and this was released just a few days ago, so I bet they'll fix it.

Oh cool. Do you limit users? I thought about doing that too but the Searxist Dev says if you don't get others to use it then it will make the user more finger printable?

I guess maybe donating is a better way to go.

You didn't happen to figure out the bookmarks access, did you? I use the native browser on /e/OS. My bookmarks were made there and then are somehow also where Searxist bookmark saves go. I guess Searxist still solves a problem, since browsing with just one default engine was the issue, and if you already have the bookmarks, you can just use your normal browser anyways.
