My arbitrary criteria:
It’s alternative search engines which provide less censored / more interesting search results. Whonix doesn’t receive payment for any listings. Considered candidates are those having good quality, less censored search results.
Privacy by policy / ownership / location / hosted by which data center is not considered. There is no escape from cloudshare / AWS:
- Debian uses CDNs amazon AWS and fastly.
- Tor Project Sponsors Page Quote
-
Fastly’s global edge cloud platform processes, serves, and secures applications as close to users as possible, at the edge of the network. Fastly generously hosts our Tor Browser update downloads that can be fetched anonymously.
- Sponsoring the Tor project with content delivery services
- Distrusting Infrastructure
- Self-Hosting vs Third Party Hosting
- In short: It’s futile to attempt to research most secure server location of search engines and to make decisions optimized for that.
Non-javascript support isn’t considered either. Impractical. Even these forums here require javascript.
High risk of law of triviality / bikeshed. There’s no way to optimize for all goals at once. I don’t intent to spend a lot time debating favorite colors (choice of search engines).
