Preferably one that doesn’t censor search results. Like DuckDuckGo, apparently

4get.ca, it’s a metasearch engine, you get results from various search engines anonymously.

Kagi is quite possibly the least privacy friendly search engine out there. I swear there’s astroturfing going on here, I don’t know why anyone would pay for this, they’re just falling for marketing.

Not to mention it just won’t work in private browsing and all your queries are tied to a specific account which also has your personal information from your payments.

DuckDuckGo does not censor, that is misinformation and FUD. It’s probably the best search engine currently for most things.

How so? It requires you to have an account and give your payment information

Mojeek and Brave Also try Gibiru to see uncensored results (those which Google and Bing try to hide)
