Searx Public Instance Listing WithOUT Client-Side JavaScript

[MilkManzJourDaddy]

Do we REALLY think people who are trying to eliminate Google® in their lives are going to trust all the Client-Side JavaScript™ hurdled at their devices? Seriously?!?!

The old list was a simple table. Sure, reordering lists might be helpful… But how about adding <noscript>&</noscript> tags that give the site visitor content that renders withOUT needing to trust suspect code, or vet it each time a page gets updated?

Thanks. 🍻

This is issue belongs to the https://github.com/dalf/searx-stats2 project

There is one long javascript because webpack was not used so it be read by a human, and at the top of it, there is this:

FIXME: use Jinja2

Basically it is on the TODO list:

• https://github.com/dalf/searx-stats2/issues/9
• https://github.com/dalf/searx-stats2/issues/13

searx-stats2 was made public before this requirement was completed because the old way to manage instance list was messy, sorry about that.

You can download a JSON version: https://searx.space/data/instances.json

The next UI:

• will be usable without javascript.
• optional features like filters and perhaps tooltip will require javascript.
