Ecosia seems to work nicely most of the time, but it pulls results from multiple engines. The key is probably going to be a meta engine like Ecosia. SearxNG is nice and its results are fantastic, but public instances are generally slow or unstable or both. If you have a web server, you could try spinning up your own instance just for yourself.

Been wondering what else to use. I tried Yandex but it wants you to complete a captcha if you're using a VPN and I couldn't find an add on that would bypass it
