That should definitely be linked for context of this “data”
Edit: That article directly calls 4get “the best search engine”, and the diagram implies that to be the case as well. Given that 4get has existed for 4 days I just find everything else from the author to be very suspect. This should at least have the author’s context added or more of a heads-up that this isn’t exactly rigorous data. 4get’s current audit status is just trust me bro, which I find difficult when the entire rest of the about page is filled with immaturity.
I found someone on 4chan that wouldn’t stop announcing this engine on /g/, most likely the owner as well. And seeing that the name is 4get, it probably started there
Publicly existed. It was announced 4 days ago. The author said they have been working on it for a full year now, but until they release it there’s really no way for third parties to be using it and forming opinions.

Are you the creator of 4get, OP? Your account is 4 days old, the same age as the post announcing 4get on reddit: https://old.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/comments/16emfv0/4get_a_proxy_search_engine_that_doesnt_suck/
