I might be the odd person out here, but if Google offered a premium sub service that did 0 data collection and I never got served a thing by ad sense, I'd pay for it.

My thought is that with data collection and advertising you become the product that is being sold. I'd rather buy a product than be a product.

EDIT: Not just search, but a sub for all Google products I use.

Not quite there for non-tech folks, but the paid search engine Kagi immensely improved my search experience.

I’m a subscriber here. Search works great. Better than google for my use cases. Maps are still rough. AI integrations are good, better than free providers like bing.

I recommend Kagi for anyone with enough technical expertise to figure out how to set their search providers. It’s hard to do this on mobile unfortunately.

It’s terrible on iOS. There’s no real way to do it other than…installing a new browser.

I just switched all my browsers to use kagi about 2 weeks ago. On my Android phone, all I had to do was open chrome's settings, click search engine, and I could change it right there. :)
