4get is a metasearch engine, similar to Searx and SearXNG

You can find the source code here: https://git.lolcat.ca/lolcat/4get

And use it here: 4get.ca

So you are lolcat and spamming the link to 4get.ca? If so, that makes you look a bit uncool.

Good things: unlike DDG or MetaGer, zero tracking. zero ads. Clean. Unlike SearXNG, you’re not using Github (a good move). This might become huge. The fact that it’s not perfect now, doesn’t matter.

Bad things: Obviously it’ll be hard to be better than SearXNG. A donation link is especially bad; ko-fi.com itself can be there, but… In the donation campaign, SearXNG accepted crypto, while you’re only using a Paypal-like thing. That’s not really cool.

I'm not lolcat, but I know him.

Ask them to understand that CloudFlare often blocks Tor users. Providing onion while accepting donations via ko-fi doesn’t make sense b/c ko-fi is behind CF.
