Ecosia and Qwant are building together an EU based index. Maybe then they will become actually independent alternatives to American giants. It will take a while.
Ecosia have planted 250,000+ trees so far and publish their accounts every month. I can’t think of a better option, unless there is a niche requirement.
Qwant is so bad IMO, I tried to use it but the results just suck. I kept having to use Google or DDG to get better ones. Only truly great one is Kagi but since they’re US based and I can’t afford the monthly cost (even though it’s low) I don’t use it anymore.
DuckDuckGo and Ecosia?

Startpage and Mojeek.
DDG has contracts w Microslop.
Thanks for the warning; I’ll leave DDG for Qwant!

Startpage works decently.
Startpage uses google btw, Mojeek is decent. (I like Mojeek backend with SearXNG.)
That’s disappointing. But Mojeek is kind of unusable tbh.
