It really sucks that to escape Google, the second in line that is “more private” is DDG and based in the US. So that means they have to abide to the american privacy invading “patriot” laws etc.
I wish we had a good European alternative that doesn’t have to comply to the NSA when they want direct access to logs while giving you a gag order…
And I know searx-ng but last time I tried it wasn’t good enough imo.

Qwant is French. Not a privacy search engine and looks like it features AI now. Kagi is really good, but US based and expensive. I think most of Europe does intelligence sharing with the US (“14 eyes” or something like that)?
