Kagi is a nice substitute of google, not free, though. As fle me, their basic 300 searches a month ia enough, even though i search a lot for DD links and homework.
Waterfox defaults to startpage out of the box, but I think duckduckgo is the most "mainstream" alternative
Switching out your default search engine away from google is such an easy step to take that has a massive impact on how much google can spy on you. It should go without saying that chrome is obvious spyware
Startpage and kagi have been closest to the golden age of search for me (2004-12 ish)
Brave search does also have AI, but it doesn't seem annoying, and you have to expand it yourself to see it. It isn't shoved down your throat.
Having an AI overview is handy to have around when you actually want it. On Brave it's just available. Also it doesn't tend to hallucinate what isn't supported in the search.
Maybe Brave is using a summary model and google is using a retro-fitted chat model. So theirs ends up opinionated and wants to share extra facts. But I can only speculate.
