Anyone heard of or used this before?
Came to my attention after watching the NetworkChuck video on it. Seems pretty cool to me.

Ive heard of it but I cant be bothered with it when DDG and Startpage is around
If you take a look at the repo has not been updated in a long while. I think SearxNG is carrying the torch forward. I was meaning to spin up a container and try it for a while, but ended up not having enough time to do it.
yeah set it up and started using it earlier this week… i liked it so much i installed it on the metal after i tried it in a vm.
this will show you both ways you can start hosting your own search.
but understand your still using a default browser/fire fox/ chrome/edge… so they will send shit regardless.
the alternative…
make your own web browser in visual basic. 
also im having issues running it behind a vpn. the search loads fine but all the engines time out.
so will have to play with that to figure out why…

works fine if i dont use the vpn
but if i do, its now its saying cant allocate an ipv4 address from the available pool.
im guessing theres even more settings i gotta fiddle with
