Just use startPage its basically privacy focused google

I do, via the !s bang. I was thrown off of using Startpage exclusively after the System1 acquisition. Since then, I've also experienced more downtime with Startpage than I find acceptable. It is nice getting the Google results via another interface though.

https://www.privacytools.io/private-search is a good place to keep an eye on privacy tools like search engines

Unless we want Google to complete the “Death Star” and totally control the Internet, I think using services based on their products still perpetuates Alphabet dominance of the web. I use Firefox based browsers and search engines like DDG and Brave that don’t depend on Google’s code base to exist.
