StartPage because has better results in Italian, but I'm waiting improvements from @Mojeek to switch to them.
in reply to Tuta

Duckduckgo. Iwas a huge fan of google for a very long time. Iswitched to ddg when google was still a better search engine. Today ddg is far better. I playedwith startpage. Haven't tried the others.

Using Qwant and DDG at work and my Kagi subscription at home.
in reply to Tuta

Startpage is to slow, Qwant no (https://netzpolitik.org/2022/digitale-raeuberpistole-der-absturz-der-suchmaschine-qwant-und-ihres-gruenders/) and DDG also no.

Yes, I know — sorry! I was too quick to send, here comes the edited version:

Several instances of SearXNG, https://searx.space, a SearX fork called Monocles, https://monocles.eu, MetaGer, https://metager.org, and the independent engine Mojeek, https://www.mojeek.com

@wernerprise howdy, we are a search engine, not a SearX fork.
in reply to Tuta

Besides Startpage, I love using searx.space.
in reply to Tuta

StartPage is partly owned by System1. This company is a data broker, if I am correct. There are good articles. restoreprivacy says it is up to you to decide. I just think you should know about this ongoing debate and make a picture for yourself. Just be cautious ​:02think2:
Before switching please read the articles from restoreprivacy (restoreprivacy.com/startpage-system1-privacy-one-group/)

and StartPages statement: www.startpage.com/privacy-please/startpage-articles/startpage-and-privacy-one-group

I am using #Startpage because it sends search requests from the client using the POST method. Do you know of any other search engines with this feature?

zoTop is a search engine aggregator : Google, DuckDuckGo, etc. It uses all these search engines while anonymizing them.

Brave Search is the only free private search engine that can challenge Google when it comes to search results.Brave has its own index that doesn't depend on Google or Microsoft Bing.

The best results I get with Ecosia. Searx and Qwant are number 2&3 for me.
