# 4get search
**4get** is a proxy search engine that doesn't suck.
## 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.
