      I use Qwant since a half year and pretty happy with it. I don’t know if it’s the best, but it does the work for me.

      The nearest in results is Startpage, it use the Google base but without logging, tracking and other crap, uses proxie. Andisearch, if you want a reliable and really private search with AI, free to use, no account, no cookies, nor logs or trackings, random proxie and sandboxed searches. Kagi is also good, but isn’t free (limited searches in free version and need an account, which by definition isn’t very private). Mojeek is also a good alternative from the EU, like also MetaGer (multiengine from Germany)

        Mojeek is British, not EU. But it’s good privacy wise.

        For a Startpage alternative, Qwant exists (which is very good). But it’s not as good for privacy.

          Well, Andisearch is from an Californian startup, but I use it because its strong active privacy protection, full GDPR compliant, apart of their clear statement against the surveillance capitalism and biased AI’s from big corporations. Because this it’s the exeption for me to use also an US service, also because accurate results with sources.

          Search is broken because of misinformation, SEO spam and ads, and surveillance capitalism. It hasn’t changed in 20 years. Things are getting worse. The rise of GPT-based chatbots that confidently generate accurate-sounding “BS” with made-up sources is driving misinformation through the roof.

      SearXNG it can pull from multiple search engines you can use Google and stuff in it, but it anonymizes your queries I use it and the results are so fucking great
