Features & Capabilities

🌟 SearXNG 4all is here and replace this addon! 🌟

Dear user, this addon has been superseded by a much more versatile version: SearXNG 4all.


Why should you switch?
🎛 Highly Configurable: Use YOUR own SearXNG instance, whether it's local (e.g., localhost:9090) or remote (e.g., https://searx.ox2.fr/).

🔧 Active Maintenance: All future updates and bug fixes will be made to the new addon.
How to migrate? It's easy:
Install the new addon: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searxng-4all/

Configure it with your SearXNG instance's URL (e.g., http://127.0.0.1:9090 for local, or the URL of the instance you use).

Uninstall this old addon.
Thank you for your support! By migrating, you get the best possible experience and encourage me to continue development.

Link to the new addon: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searxng-4all/

Description of this OLD addon :

For a local installation of SearXNG on port 9090.

Mine was installed on Docker with this command : docker run --restart=always -d -p 9090:8080 -v "./searxng:/etc/searxng:rw" -e "BASE_URL=http://localhost:9090/" -e "INSTANCE_NAME=SearXNG" --name SearXNG searxng/searxng

Is Private-SearXNG Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Private-SearXNG requires very minimum permissions.

Risk impact analysis details

High Can change search providers, which could redirect searches to malicious sites, posing moderate risk.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Private-SearXNG has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
