I don’t know this specific brand but because of this quote in the article I assumed it’d not be automatically registered:
“If you do choose to register a Peak Design product, and it is lost or stolen, you can reach out to our customer service team and have your registration erased, so the bag is not traceable back to you.”
Why do they say “if you do choose to register” if you don’t have a choice?
I just host my own searxng instance. Bonus: I get to tweak the config to my liking.
