But that's just one little function you can use. We try to offer a complete independency from big companies while protection your data and communications with decentralized and open source services and applications.

Monocles is not a closed platform like many others. It is your secure access to an independent worldwide network.

It seams quite promising tbh. I would like to see how this evolves.

I like it, just needs a proper dark mode and it feels nice to use, the one thing I really dislike about searX is the UI

It calls itself a meta search engine but which search engine does it really use upstream? I couldn't find any information on that

It seems to be a themed instance of Searx. On the preferences screen, there's an "Engine" tab which shows the engines that it queries.
