      not OP but i use qwant and it does the job like 99% of the time

      it’s french so still hosted in the imperial core, but it’s a slight improvement over hosting in america

      it’s good to have tech services all over the world anyway (even in the EU) cus when imperialism inevitably starts to fall apart, it’s good to have alternatives if some assholes start cutting the cords

        Mojeek is lacking, Ecosia is intrusive af, DDG works but is still Bing, and throwing up more ads as top results and still leaks like a sieve with a finer mesh, goog** is hit or miss… Qwen is ok, but also iffy. Not sure who’s hosting it through the domains I access for it…
