Kagi is just a search engine without ads and works.surprisingly well; unlike ddg. Its 5 bucks a month.

You could get even better results with searxng if you have the setup and patience for it. I went kagi even as an avid self hoster because I travel a lot and tailscale would slaughter my battery if I left it on non stop

Kagi is with every penny

Not even offering bananas or champagne?
