Hi. First of all great program. I see that in
whoogle.serviceroot is set as the user. Does whoogle really need root-privileges? Searx for example creates a new searx-user with limited privileges. Running as root just doesn't seem very secure.@Albonycal commented on GitHub (Oct 9, 2021):
nope, I don't think whoogle needs root privileges
