If you don’t mind having to occasionally refresh the page due to search engine timeout, a public Searxng metasearch engine. I use one just to straight up bypass having to go to any specific search engine. Also allows me to see results from both gøøg|e and b*ng without having to go to either.
What I like about it is that it’s trained on lots of different sources (including, but not limited to Google, and Bing search results). It then strips out the ads, SEO blog spam, and other nonsense and tries to return the most relevant info for my query. It is leagues better than pure Google. Also, it uses its own LLM unrelated to OpenAI.
A bit unfortunate that I got downvoted for having an opinion and sharing it.
What do you suggest? Because even Mozilla uses Google for its search.
Duck duck?
As the default as it pays for web development. You can change this to DuckDuckGo in settings and I strongly recommend that you do.

I’ve been using Searx for a couple of weeks now. It seems to be working well.

Thanks sound interesting.
I really like startpage, but I’m pretty sure it’s just Google with some tweaks
Why don’t you google it? /s
Lol absolutely it’s the only way.
I’m using qwant as my default now. It does well for most searches, but for map related things I still use google.
Kagi.
Bruh, it asks for login. No thanks.
startpage, had the Best results for me in the last couple of months, much better then google. and the anonymous view feature is handy and neat
i’m using a mix of ddg startpage and occasionally yandex, and its been good so far.
if you have more good suggestions drop em here.
I know Lemmy likes to hate on AI, but my default search engine is http://perplexity.ai and it’s great
According to Perplexity, that’s just Google Search with some OpenAI sprinkled on top… So yeah, I’m gonna hate on it lol.
