Yeah, that's the thing about Sear. You can customise it how you want and that's it. No need to let some corpo be in control of what and how you see your results.

Yikes. Thanks
Is that real, or a misinterpretation of the law?
I meant to say SearXNG. Still being maintained.
I've tried SearXNG and stayed there. And it costs me a whole 0€ per month. 10€/month for a search engine is insane.
Wasn't Google in the middle of an antitrust investigation?
Yeah, in the end I managed to make it work. Quite cool. I wanted to set it up in such a way that all EU SEs get a tick every time I search for something but sadly it seems Startpage is giving me issues.
It's one of those apps where you can't go by the reviews.
Basically they changed the interface quite a bit recently and so old customers got upset. But I use the app daily and they are seriously improving it to the point that I'm relying less and less on Google Maps. They keep adding more and more business details to the app.
If we were having this conversation a few months ago I would have said something different, so really the Improvements have been noticeable lately. I recommend that you give it a go for a couple of days at least and see how it serves you.
China does everything better than the US. iPhones are made in China.
For my Americans across the pond, I ask earnestly:
What could Russia do today that would cement themselves as an unparalleled oligarchy where just a few people control everything with no regard for anybody else in their country, that the US isn't already doing?
Do you know how SearXNG works? It literally pulls search results from whatever other SEs you define it should pull from. You just get to reap the perks of all engines, without having to deal with their antagonistic design.
Who pays for all of it in the end? The people who still want to use Google's service and feed their all-reaching tentacles. But that is their choice.
