You can remove some bias by using startpage.com but it won't eliminate SEO.

Maybe Yandex?

I wish baidu had an english version. But yeah, bing, yandex, ddg.

Switch to OneSearch. It's just an anonymizing wrapper around Bing like DuckDuckGo, but since it's run by a public utility (Verizon) rather than a private fly by night outfit like DDG, I trust it slightly more.

This seems fine and I'm not anti-onesearch or anti-Verizon in particular, but why do you feel that DDG is "fly by night"? Because they're small?

I think more Americans have been scammed by Verizon, Comcast, or AT&T than have ever even heard of DuckDuckGo! I have plenty of tiny class-action settlement checks to prove it.

Because they're not public. If they ever got exposed violating privacy the owner would just declare bankruptcy and move to the Bahamas.

By that logic, if Verizon was ever caught violating privacy we would not be able to keep it accountable because it's too large to fail.
