Anybody have any other suggestions for a search engine on vintage Macs?
Preferably one that respects your privacy like StartPage and DDG.
How about a SearXNG instance? It proxies your requests to the search
engines you select, and its interface seems like it ought to work on older
devices. I run my own instance (it's pretty easy to do if you're familiar
with Docker), but there's also a list of public instances that you could try
out to see if it'd work for you:
https://searx.space/
The list of "instances" isn't loading (just the top menu) but the first
one,
https://search.inetol.net/, loads and works OK.
