Honestly, to me, I'll be happy with a good FOSS search engine.

The only thing out there is gigablast but it needs money/ hardware/resources and a better look GUI.

I had high hopes about brave... But they are not FOSS so... Nothing new there. Just for privacy I prefer DDG (even depending heavily on bing and that I would prefer it was independent - I don't like much of that meta mambo jumbo)

All in all: an independent free and open source search engine that respects user privacy.

I don't think it's too much to ask
