I am kinda fed up off trying all these privacy focused search engines which provide lesser quality service. Here's what I've tried so far:

  1. Duckduckgo: bad results when you search something that piracy related
  2. Searx: I'm not geeky enough to host mine own searx so I just jump from one instance to another and the uptimes have been bad.
  3. Startpage: Idk why it's down most of the time
  4. Ecosia: Not very private, but I just tried it for the sake of it. It's bad when it comes to the results.

Honestly I feel Brave search is the best when it comes to results. But the sketchy practices kept me away from it. Kagi is paid so I haven't tried it.

What have you been using?
