This has been a a tough one, Google gives all ad-focused results, and DuckDuckGo gives crap results (imho)
I did find Kagi recently but they charge after 100 free trial searches, and I'm considering paying for it because it's so good. Best results I've gotten anywhere in a long time.
Thanks!
You can pick what search engines are sourced, which is fanatic, and it's fully anonymous. My preferred instance is disroot's (https://search.disroot.org) as they are a super trustworthy nonprofit in my book.
Kagi is pretty decent. It's worth supporting else the space will continue to be dominated by advertising monopolies.
I've had Qwant foisted on me by Firefox and it's decent enough, I find, no complaints.
I love this, reminds me of when I first found StumbleUpon and the OG Yahoo that was a hand-curated directory.
Ecosia isn't ad free... And if you using them ad free you're just hurting them in their mission.
