In my opinion, considering both usability and privacy:

  1. SearxNG/Searx (Selfhosted) +++++
  2. SearxNG (Trusted instances: searx.be, paulgo.io) ++++
  3. Brave Search +++
  4. DuckDuckGo +++
  5. Whoogle (Selfhosted) +++
  6. Kagi (credit card and name required) ++
  7. MetaGer ++
  8. Swisscows +
  9. StartPage +
  10. Qwant +
  11. Ecosia +
  12. Presearch +
  13. You . com +
  14. etools .ch ?

Avoid:

  • Google
  • Bing/Yahoo
  • ¿Phind?

DuckDuckGo (DDG) has some bad results sometimes. I am ashamed (only a little) to admit that I sometimes use Google if I need better results or can't find something on DDG.
