I use SearXNG. It's been treating me very well and I've only had to use Google to get a certain result 1 time in the past 6 months.

My searxng instance gives me Google results. Maybe it misses the point but it's nice.

You can turn it off in the settings. Or, just use a VPN or SOCKS5 proxy. with it and you'd be good, while still having the benefits of Google's engine.

Sorry, i meant that i like the Google results, and i turned them on Even if it misses the point of using an alternative because it's just better than Google alone.
