    /e/os is LineageOS + microG with an easy installer available or pre-installed purchase. The interface design is based on how iOS works, for example to move an icon on your phone long press one of the icons and wait till they all go wiggling and then drag the icon to where you want to have it.

    I think /e/os is okay for folks who want a deGoogled phone that comes pre-installed.

    In case anyone wants to try the /e/os easy installer on an old and supported phone, the /e/os easy install is really much more easy compared to plain LineageOS install.





  • The mentioned server side changes (e.g. A server move you mentioned but could also be server settings, provider settings, etc).

    I guess that is the case. According to https://searx.space/ the searx.be server is in Austria but might use some proxy to talk to Google and similar to avoid quick blocking. The maintainer of searx.be also maintains yewtu.be and that one uses proxies (The proxy names can be seen when blocking auto play of videos in Tor browser).

    Also getting results in Russian here since a few days. Usually it is either Swedish or Dutch. Never German.
