It seems like only the frontend is open-source, correct me if you find the back end code and if it is under AGPL license

Non mentirò, è alquanto divertente smanettare con il file config.def.h e ricompilare il programma durante la configurazione

Qwant is just a bing frontend with a bit better privacy, bit they still share some of tour informations:

Why are you transferring data to Microsoft, and what data is it?

Microsoft provides some of the search results you see on our pages, and provides ads to the keywords in your search inquiry. This means that we need to send Microsoft some information related to your search that allows our partner to return results and ads relevant to that search, and to prevent fraudulent clicks or other activities that are not permitted by our Terms of Use.

In order to detect fraud, Qwant uses a specialized service offered by Microsoft, which does not have access to the keywords of your search. Only your IP address and the browser (your “User Agent”) are communicated to this specialized service to calculate a fraud probability score. Keywords are sent separately to another service that does not know your IP address.

Source

Also, the results are Bing's so they are biased.

Overall, It's your choice, bit qwant may ne not the best for results and privacy

It doesnt work with VNP and Tor, I'd choose Whoogle or LibreX as Google frontends, you can selfhost them and they're open source

the algorithm is changing form me, and also for other people

For me the thing that holds me back from using an alternative frontend is that the yt algoritm doesnt work on those. The thing that i hate is that it doesnt recommend the channels which I'm subscibed to most of the times. Also, on my FreeBSD-based mobile operanting system, there arent frontend wrappers so I'm left with the proprietary app which is included in the package store

It's like any other social, they show you what the masses watch, andò what they want you to watch (mostly because they're going to profit more if you watch ultramonetized videos)

 

I cover alla my needs with foss but mor minimal apps would be better. PS: This was my suite of apps when I wrote the post

 

(Crosspostato da Etica Digitale ) Ormai xorg è considerabile come un "suck", e sembra insensato lavorare su esso. Esistono progetti come dwl e wterm ma non sono ufficialmente sviluppati dal team suckless.
