  results I ask for without ads, without manipulation, without spam, then don’t take that information of what I searched for and apply it to me until the end of days and sell it to everyone and their brother

    Willing to pay cash? Check out kagi.

    I’m a cheapskate but I’m getting closer every month.

      So long as I can de-shittify existing search engines with extensions and ad blockers, I’d have a hard time justifying that expense.

      …but I also do not have faith that that “so long as” will remain something I can rely on, so kagi is definitely on my radar just from the few posts I’ve seen about it here.

        Yeah the people who pay rave that it’s better, but there’s a well known effect that you generally think the thing with a higher sticker price is higher quality.

  So, what are you gonna do? Switch search engines? Most of the population don’t even think there’s a choice.

    Currently self-hosting Searx-ng. Goes out through a VPN. It’s a meta search, so I my highest rankings are results that come back from multiple vendors. Pretty much eliminates sponsored results.

    I haven’t gotten around to putting it into my reverse proxy, so when I am out I just use duck duck go. Their results aren’t as good, but they work.
