Since Internet search has and will change, which search engines do you use successfully, and what are their advantages?

Startpage, google search results without ads, trackers but much slower, the slowness can get annoying sometimes when my internet speed is bad
I personally use You.com, Mojeek and Startpage. All of them are great 👍…
Kagi.com no ads, private, you pay a subscription so they look for your interest instead of you being the product, has many customizations, very responsive company, very good use of AI, super fast, doesn’t require javascript, and many other things, just give it a try
What paid plan do you use ? If it’s not the ultimate plan, do you often go over the “limit” ? I’m interested, but I have a hard time knowing what plan I will actually require.
I’m also on the early adopter unlimited plan. What I suggest is that you take a conservative plan and observe your behavior, you can always upgrade to a bigger plan later
Unfortunately, still Google, with Bing a distant second. I’ve realised at least half of my searches are locale-specific, and engines like DDG are so American-centric. This is even with letting DDG use accurate location data. Reading the options here and hoping to find something I’ve not heard before that’ll work and hopefully replace Google as my main search engine.
If you are in Europe, Qwant is a decent alternative. There are also alternatives like Ecosia and Startpage that use Google or Bing behind the scenes but limit how much they can track you.
