After many months we are bringing back our TROM.tf Search! search.trom.tf/ thanks to Danny!
But with a twist. Instead of hosting a SearX instance we are using a script that checks the best and most reliable instances and uses them randomly for every search. It is a meta-search engine. This way we make sure it is reliable and our IP will never get blocked by google and the rest.
For those who do not know, SearX is itself a sort of meta-search engine, pulling results from google, DDG, yahoo and more, removing the ads and trackers, and basically allowing you to search without those viruses.
So, we are finally back!
To add it to Firefox simply right click the URL after the page loads, and then add the TROM Search as a search engine. From Firefox's settings make sure you select it to be as default for your browser.

in reply to Andrew Adams • •That will get our ip banned by google pretty fast. You have to put a lot of effort to avoid that. And currently I cannot do that...
Or do you mean a metasearch for invidious instances?

in reply to TROM • • •Doesn't seem to be responding to input: I can enter a query, and select the radio buttons, but clicking the search button or hitting enter does nothing.
Is anyone else experiencing this? Maybe it requires some wacky 3rd party permissions?

Works very well, after allowing cross-domain XMLHttpRequests.
Thanks!
