A good start that allows you to pin/ban sites from search results, order by least ad trackers, search the small web, and more:

https://kagi.com/

Its paid, which can be seen as ridiculous but for me it helps me be confident im not the product.

I keep seeing this WAY too much. I'm starting to get suspicious it's being pushed by their ad/marketing department. 🤨

Well in which case you probably won't believe me but I've been using Kagi for a while and am extremely happy with it... no link with the company at all other than a very satisfied user 🤷🏻‍♂️

You can improve Google a bit using ublacklist but it still wasn't anywhere as good as Kagi.

I will say Kagi isn't as good when it comes to looking for local businesses or services... I still use Google for that but you can do that within Kagi with a !g and it anonymises the search

Well Darren (if that is you're real name). I'll be keeping my eye on this situation.

It's pushed by people who already pay for it
