Kind of fucked up but tbf Google does similarly shady stuff.
Please just use duckduckgo (or SearX).
I host my own SearXNG instance, which miiiight be a bit of a bad idea because the anonymity of the crowd disappears but hosting your own services is way too cool to ignore. It's at search.gregtech.eu in case anyone wants to use it.
What I don't like about SearXNG (aside of no favicons/icons I think) is that it doesn't show the content of what I am looking for in the browser desktop tabs, if I search for "Linux" in the tab it is only shown "SearXNG" instead of what I am searching for... That definitely kills my browsing habits... I hope I am being clear (can't post a screenshot right now), also unsure if it was the same with mobile browsers.
That is configurable. Settings > Privacy > Query in the page's title
Oh, so it was a privacy feature then? Neat!
