I hope this is a joke, because it's the most useful search engine I have ever used in the past decade.
Cannot speak for anyone else, but I have been having problems with my preferred SearXNG instances returning garbage results that have nothing to do with what I searched. Before anyone asks, no I am unable to self-host my own personal instance and don't feel like changing settings every time I close and reopen my browser.
For me disable bing and yahoo make better. And google look like not return result anymore.
Edit: Setting saved in cookie. If browser autodelete cookie, add exclude for searxng instance domain.
I'll have to look up how to do that cookie autodelete thing because I clearly never thought of anything like that. Thanks for the idea.
For firefox: settings -> privacy & security -> cookies and site data -> manage exceptions
