Does anyone use https://presearch.com/ (presearch.com)

Browsing the web I came across this (meta) search engine. From the first glance, it seems promising and giving quite a good results to my searches. Definitely better than Google, Bing or DDG, which tend to be full of SEO/ads/AI bullshit these days. Does anyone use it?

It somehow implies it's open source and indeed there is github https://github.com/PresearchOfficial too, but I can't find any link from the presearch.com itself to it. It's just... IDK, weird?

Same, anything peddling crypto and implying the user may earn it through no actual work being done, is suspicious.

Searx-NG works well enough for me in 90% of cases, may not be perfect yet but if it keeps getting developed it will get better. I love those random redirectors that send you to a random instance, no centralised site you depend on then.
