I’m stuck with what to choose. I prioritise speed and privacy

I guess i’m doing pros and cons for all of them now:

Startpage Pros - uses google’s search results and anonymous view, eu based Cons - Bought my an ad company

Qwant Pros - eu based Cons - lots of ads, sometimes a bug where it is in france

DDG pros - faster than the other two, Cons - https://techrights.org/o/2020/07/02/ddg-privacy-abuser-in-disguise/

    how to find a good searxng instance, as all the ones i have found are rubbish (self hosting isnt an option.)

      https://searx.space/

      Problem is that if a site gets too popular, then the search engines like google tend to start rate limiting. Before in started self hosting I jumped around every couple of months to a new server.

        I have found one I somewhat like but after looking further I found 4get.ch or something like that, it’s results where better the searx and it looked nicer and it’s quicker
