Patched. 😆😞

SearXNG generates nice “cached” links for reddit search results to the Wayback Machine, which is helpful if an archived version exists. It’s so painfully slow, though (no shade on archive.org - we’re lucky they still exist). I finally went back to DDG for routine searches. 🙁

Anecdotal but my phone battery life has been greatly improved since I disabled Google Maps. I was hitting the 20% warning routinely before end of day previously, and now I typically have 30-40% when I plug it in at night.

On a related note, MapQuest offers Android Auto integration, and the turn-by-turn experience has been adequate in my admittedly limited testing.

YMMV.
