About this app

Get Google search results, but without any ads, javascript, AMP links, cookies, or IP address tracking. Easily deployable in one click as a Docker app, and customizable with a single config file. Quick and simple to implement as a primary search engine replacement on both desktop and mobile. - No ads or sponsored content - No JavaScript* - No cookies** - No tracking/linking of your personal IP address*** - No AMP links - No URL tracking tags (i.e. utm=%s) - No referrer header - Tor and HTTP/SOCKS proxy support - Autocomplete/search suggestions - POST request search and suggestion queries (when possible) - View images at full res without site redirect (currently mobile only) - Light/Dark/System theme modes (with support for custom CSS theming) - Randomly generated User Agent - Easy to install/deploy - DDG-style bang (i.e. !<tag> <query>) searches - Optional location-based searching (i.e. results near <city>) - Optional NoJS mode to view search results in a separate window with JavaScript blocked *No third party JavaScript. Whoogle can be used with JavaScript disabled, but if enabled, uses JavaScript for things like presenting search suggestions. **No third party cookies. Whoogle uses server side cookies (sessions) to store non-sensitive configuration settings such as theme, language, etc. Just like with JavaScript, cookies can be disabled and not affect Whoogle's search functionality. ***If deployed to a remote server, or configured to send requests through a VPN, Tor, proxy, etc.
