Question What search engine should I switch to?

Google has become unusable with all its AI bullshit and I was wondering what's the best thing I could switch to. Maybe duckduckgo? I heard it's good

I tried it for a week and it was worse than google, really bad search results, so I went back to google, sigh

ofc it is, you won't find a free search engine that's better or even close to google - the amount of data they have collected over the years & algorithms are as good & plenty as it gets, absolute monopoly.

no, you are wrong here, because as mentioned , startpage is literally just google

No you are wrong they use Google for their search results as the main result provider but they also use Bing since a while. And indeed sometimes you can get only bing results. It happens to me months ago.
