This is a metasearch engine that gets results from other engines, and strips away all of the tracking parameters and Microsoft bolderdash they add. Most of the other alternatives to Foogle ridicule themselves off about being ""privacy respecting"" or whatever they call themselves, but it always turns out to be a total lie, and I just got fed up with that, honestly. Alternatives like Searx or YaCy all do not work wonders at all, so I made my own thing.
|
||||
FYI: This instance is a fork of the original 4Get, and I changed it to my liking with most of the code being original. You can call this a mirror, if you like.

<a href="https://git.lolcat.ca/lolcat/4get">4get</a> is a metasearch engine built by <a href="https://lolcat.ca/">lolcat</a> to retrieves search results from other well known search engines and then strips away all of the tracking parameters that these search engines put in that are unnessary and are invasive. Most other alternatives to large search engines such as Google and Microsoft Bing claim to be "Privacy Respecting" but fail on this promise such as Esosia for example. The developer, lolcat, was fed up with this situation and decided to build 4get, as other alternatives like Searx and YaCy don't live up to their expectation.

<a href="#goal"><h2 id="goal">My goal</h2></a>
|
||||
Provide users with a privacy oriented, extremely lightweight, ad free, free as in freedom (and free food!) way to search for documents around the internet, with minimal, optional javascript code. My long term goal would be to build my own index (that doesn't suck) and provide users with an unbiased search engine, with no political inclinations.

The goal of 4get is to aim at providing end-users with a privacy-oriented, extremely lightweight, ad-free, free as in freedom way to search for documents around the world wide web with mimimal optional JavaScript. The long-term goal would to eventfully get 4get to build it's own and provide users with an unbiased search engine, with no political inclinations.

Your search queries and supplied filters are shared with the scraper you chose (so I can get the search results). I don't share anything else (that means I don't share your IP address, location, or anything of this kind). There is no way that site can know you're the one searching for something, <u>unless you send out a search query that de-anonymises you.</u> For example, a search query like "hello my full legal name is jonathan smith and i want pictures of greenland" would definitively blow your cover. 4get doesn't contain ads or any third party javascript applets or trackers. I don't profile you.<br><br>

Your search queries and supplied filters are shared with the scraper you chose. SudoVanilla and 4get don't share anything else like your IP address or location.There is no way for a site to know you're the one searching for the query you put in. SudoVanilla and 4get do not and never will serve advertisements or 3rd-party JavaScript applets or trackers on it's instance(s).
|
||||
|
||||
TL;DR assume those websites can see what you search for, but can't see who you are (unless you're really dumb).
|
||||
When you submit a search query through 4get, the scraper see's our server as the person sending the search, not you.
