Show HN: Giggle – A self-hosted customizable and ad-free Google Search interface (github.com)

Hey HN!

Just want to share a project of mine called Giggle. It uses Google's Programmable Search Engine service to apply allow- and block-lists to your searches in an easy way. I've shared it before[0] but just went through and refreshed/refactored a ton of things. Two things to note from the changes are it no longer uses Puppeteer for Google login and the license is now MIT. Happy to answer any questions!

what's the motivation behind building this?

I discovered Google's Programmable Search Engine service but was not happy with their default interface. There's no way to seamlessly switch between engines either. I looked around but didn't see any out of the box solutions that let you provide an engine ID and API key to use their JSON API so I built this.
