As the title says! My choice, for now, is Leta, directly from Mullvad. I really like because there are no ads by deafult, which is particular important since those ads usually lead to malware.
Otherwise, i like mojeek (same reason).
They both have a strong privacy policy and search results are good enough for me.

duckduckgo mostly
I fully switched to DDG last summer and it is totally fine for ~90% of my searches, except its image search is way worse than Google’s.
Kagi! Been using it for a year and I’m very happy with it. The lens feature helps me when I want to deep dive on something and the small web option feels sort of sweet to me hahah
I did not know Kagi. Thank you!
Edit: spelling
There was an interesting post on Kagi a few days ago; with an alternative take on how it operates.
Holy shit, the man is truly unhinged
Gladly paying for Kagi as well.
It will automatically redirect to a random SearX instance, which is nice because they can keep track of which ones are active so I don’t have to.
Its pretty nice but sometimes it directs to a Thai (or other language) instance and while it doesn’t matter for the immediate search results it can be annoying when you wanted to check images for example.
Doesn’t mean not to use it but it surprised me a couple times so far.
My guess is those instances are misconfigured, didn’t set their language correctly
Kagi. I’m happy with it.
I yell into the void until someone brings me an answer
SearXNG
For anyone wondering about Leta it proxies Google searches. Available only to Mullvad users.
Hi! Now Leta seems to proxi also Brave searches!
Interesting, I was just going off the linked FAQ. I don’t use Mullvad so I was curious, thanks
I use SearXNG and Startpage.
Startpage is really nice. I use it when sites blocks VPN users like me since i can proxy every page i visit through them!
Qwant but sometimes DuckDuckGo.

Uh, really sorry for that! I will correct my typo! :)
I use Duckduckgo
