## What is Whoogle?
Whoogle Search is a privacy-friendly search engine that acts as a proxy between you and Google, providing search results without exposing your personal information to the search giant. Get Google search results, but without any ads, JavaScript, AMP links, cookies, or IP address tracking. Easily deployable in one click as a Docker app, and customizable with a single config file. Quick and simple to implement as a primary search engine replacement on both desktop and mobile.
