I just wish I'd discovered sooner that there are search engines based in other countries that work wonderfully without all the junk, like Mojeek.
If you're looking for Google alternatives, I made a video on the topic earlier this year.
Yep, but also I wouldn't rely completely on one search engine. I'm using SearXNG and the most tolerant engines are Mojeek, Google, Yandex, and Ayo. Surprisingly, DDG, Startpage, Brave, and Dogpile all block me almost immediately.
Yup, agreed. It's good to have a few different ones with different indexes.
