OnionBrowser VS searx-instances

All I could find so far was this, https://github.com/OnionBrowser/OnionBrowser/wiki/Traffic-that-leaks-outside-of-Tor-due-to-iOS-limitations. But like I said before that's an onion browser/iOS/WebKit thing so not 100% sure why it still applies inside of TBB. Also not even 100% about that onion browser leak either, https://github.com/OnionBrowser/OnionBrowser/issues/392. It's quite possible that multimedia components simply just increase the attack surface and therefore have been excluded from the safest preset without identifying any specific vulnerability.

iOS (iPhone, iPad): https://onionbrowser.com/

WebRTC leaks can be fixed by disabling JavaScript. See here.

The Android Tor Browser is an official app. The iOS Onion Browser is an unofficial app which is endorsed by the official Tor Project.

You do not have to volunteer your phone when police ask, and you can opt for encrypted messaging apps (Apple’s IMessages with the ICloud syncing turned OFF, or the app Signal, VPN services, browsers ( TOR Browser or Onion Browser, or a extension that blocks trackers (Firefox, Brave, Safari and DuckDuckGo all come with technology that blocks trackers in their extension stores) to obscure your identity while conducting searches and communicating with people.

If you get https://www.torproject.org/ or https://onionbrowser.com/ and some VPN you can talk

I still recommend a Searx instance over google. Independently run search engines using an open-source software that aggregate searches over multiple engines, including Google, Bing, Yahoo, Wikipedia, DDG, Ecosia, and many many more.

This kind of thing is why I use searx

I recommend hopping on public SearxNG instances. https://searx.space/

This was my default search in Safari, the "new tab opens with" way.

Now it shows "Cloud provider terminated all my servers, service is down for the moment. Working on it. Sorry. Please use other instances on https://searx.space"

Assuming you don't publicly list this instance on searx.space, you should be fine with a small vps. I don't see this thing having more than a dozen concurrent users so I wouldn't bother with a vps larger than 2gb of ram and 2 cpu . This should cost less than 10-20 bucks a month on vultr or digitalocean. Then you just need a domain, which can be as little as like 8 bucks a year depends on where you get it. So I'd estimate it would cost 80-120 a year to run.

If anyone is interested in getting around search related privacy issues, look into a public SearXNG instance. It doesn't mitigate all privacy concerns but does a lot to move in that direction.

Try SearXNG (https://searx.space/)
