I’ve been quite liking Kagi (paid). No search manipulation, no ads, good results, no tracking, no tying search to accounts, you can modify results yourself (remove pintrist, facebool results; pin Wikipedia results to the top of results; boost sites in your results that you use heavily, etc).
I’ve been using it for like, 5 months now? Rarely need to use bangs, the search is pretty damn good.
make site notification that they don’t use cookie actually use cookie but code pages to always display notification be celebrated by users sell tracking data win from both ends
this is why I’m suspicious of everyone, all the time
