I use Preseach... Decent results and decentralized, but I believe that the concept of searching the web is dead... No matter the search engine, it has all been made "safe" and insipid...

Qwant search engine — I've been using Qwant.com as my main search engine -- I can't remember why, but I think I've read some good stuff about it back then. Today it started keeping me out unless I turn off the ad blocker. Looking at uBlock it appears that 21 hits are blocked; looking at the log reveals suspicious-looking tracker-like scripts. I don't like being pushed around like that, so I will probably stop using it. Do you know anything about this? What search engine do you use?
