URL for my custom URL is shortened and thus not saved correctly, and apart from that I can't set SearX as my search engine provider in my Brave browser, rendering this extension useless

Vivaldi user here. This extension did nothing. Did not add the search provider as a selection. No actual function.

Terrible, absolutely atrocious, Searx itself is superb, I run my own instance and it's very good indeed and highly recommended. However, I have no idea what the developer of this extension was possibly thinking , this extension simply stops you using the internet as the only searx instance used is not stable. Don't bother with this unless you want to be frustrated out of your mind, just have a searx bookmark with the instance you want for brave. All other web browsers you can just add it at your home page, this is a complete waste of time and effort.
