+# 4get search

+
+## About 4get
+https://4get.ca/about
+
+## Official instance
+https://4get.ca , or visit the official instance list: https://4get.ca/instances
+
+_NOT to be confused with 4get.ch, 4get.lol and friends! I **don't** host these._
+
+## Totally unbiased comparison between alternatives
+
+| | 4get | searx(ng) | libreY | araa | hearch.co |
+|----------------------------|-------------------------|-----------|-------------|-----------|-------------------|
+| RAM usage | 200-400mb~ | 2GB~ | 200-400mb~ | 2GB~ | idk |
+| Does it suck | no (debunked by snopes) | yes | yes | a little | better than searx |
+| Does it work | ye | sometimes | sometimes | sometimes | yes |
+
+## Features
+1. Rotating proxies on a per-scraper basis
+2. Search filters, which SearxNG lacks for the most part
+3. Bot protection that *actually* filters out the bots (when configured)
+4. Interface doesn't require javascript
+5. Favicon fetcher with caching support & image proxy
+6. Bunch of other shits
+
+tl;dr 4get is the best way to browse for shit.
