And DDG is just a proxy for Bing following that logic. I’d choose those three over DDG.
Kagi requires an account, and only allows 100 searches
Making a new account every 100 searches should be an option (albeit a somewhat tedious one), no?

Yeah, but if the alternatives aren’t better, why not just use DDG?
That ain’t a great solution either

Because those alternatives never explicitly whitelisted trackers from MS.

Tell me which of the options I listed you would use.
The other options aren’t good either

Yes, if the choice is between DDG and that, I’d choose DDG.
Never heard of that.
They installed a Windows service that was needed to run their VPN. That service on its own does nothing. That what I heard at least. I didn’t look to much into it since I don’t really care. Brave sucks and I wouldn’t trust it, so I agree on principle. Also worse than DDG.
SearXNG and 4get is what I recommend for privacy. They get their results from other search engines but those won’t be able to trace the query back to you. Also, it’s open source and everyone can set up their own instance so there is no incentive to generate profit from your data.
