Try kagi.com. I tried and stayed. It’s paid though.

I also used Kagi, but decided to cancel my subscription last year when it was revealed they pay Yandex for their search, which is a Russian company that ultimately fuels the Russian war on Ukraine.

Once Kagi stops transferring money to Russia, I’d be happy re-subscribe.

Do you have a source how funding yandex funds the war? Yandex is a great search engine, so I would hate to find out that this is true

It's based in Russia so it presumably pays taxes and salaries in Russia.

All American companies pay taxes to America which is basically always commiting atrocities so I don't think that's a strogn enough reason on its own.

.ru is but .com is based on Europe with different results for each.

I have the feeling that, if you look a little closer, a lot of products you are using are supporting atrocities somewhere directly or indirectly.
