whoogle-search VS Piped

Google Search → Whoogle

Google Search → Whoogle

I deployed whoogle search at home. For laptops it is rather easy to define it as the default search for alfred and the respective browser, but for iOS devices I have not found a way (except some rather clunky and intrusive extensions) to change the default search engine beyond what Apple tells you. Is there a way to to this via pfSense or pihole? So whenever someone searches in the address bar in safari on iOS that pfSense redirects that search to the whoogle URL?

I host an instance of Whoogle Search that I use and never looked back. It's like someone brought Google back to the golden age. No (direct) tracking, no ads, complete control over the results.

I found now that Piped includes duration in the RSS so might script around that. Wonder if Invidious could add that metadata too.

it requires either public or private Piped or Invidious instaces [1].

For Safari (macOS or iOS/iPadOS) you could look into extensions like Vinegar or StopTheMadness, although you’ll likely need to work out if they’ll conflict with your other extensions. Failing that, an Invidious or Piped instance is likely your best bet.

Sometimes a half-solution will do, like Invidious or Piped.

Try deleting all cache and cookies and update all filters from ublock origin, otherwise we need to wait for an update. You can use Piped in the meantime.
