I find duckduckgo works pretty well. Use to I’d have to swap between it and Google depending on what I was looking for, but now I haven’t had to swap in so long, that when I am forced to use Google at work, I actually get irritated with it because all the answers are buried under a mountain of ads.
In the new era where every search engine is garbage because of all the search term bait websites with no real content, at least DuckDuckGo still respects you as a person
I’m sure there’s a lot of others. Basically, you shove that at the end of your query and you make a query to the other thing instead. I found it made my transition to DDG easier.
I use duckduckgo by default but still need to switch back to Google to search for local stuff. Even if I share my location and search in my native language, duckduckgo’s results are still US-centered.
Between Duck Duck Go and Brave’s search, I never really need Google. At work I was able to switch to those also. I’m still stuck using Chrome or Edge at work (they won’t let us use Firefox for whatever reason, which is weird for what should be a high security industry).
Firefox makes it difficult for IT to manage it through Active Directory and Group rules. Where I work, if it weren’t for the fact that we produce a web app as our primary product, we’d be locked down to only Edge.

My favorite bangs on DuckDuckGo:

Try brave search. It lets you filter by country and I find the search quality to be good.

Ah. If that’s the case then that makes sense why we’re limited as we are.
