This is pretty interesting. It’s a shame that mojeek doesn’t appear to be FOSS. There are plenty of FOSS frontends to big tech engines, but honestly I would sleep better not using those backends. Private.sh looks decent at a glance. Has anyone been using this more?
Gigablast and Private.sh implement some nice ideas, but these engines have always seemed a bit shady to me. I am yet to see any proof or at least an opinion implying the opposite.

They are constantly tweaking so it will get better.
