Anecdotally DuckDuckGo seems to have fewer sponsored sites than Google. DDG also makes it easy to block low-quality sites because it adds a data-domain attribute to the root of every search result. I recently started this mini uBlock Origin filter list for that (suggestions welcome!):
! Hide low-quality results on DuckDuckGo
duckduckgo.com##[data-domain="w3schools.com"]
duckduckgo.com##[data-domain$=".w3schools.com"]
duckduckgo.com##[data-domain="w3schools.in"]
duckduckgo.com##[data-domain$=".w3schools.in"]
duckduckgo.com##[data-domain="download.cnet.com"]
!! Stack Exchange mirrors

- bassdropvroom 5y agoGreat tip! I've been using DDG's official addon but this means one less addon. Thanks!
- raverbashing 5y agoGreat idea. Though I've noticed DDG promotes "blogspam" articles more often than the authoritative sources. Let's say, if I search for a python builtin library, I want to go to the python website, not some "Python 101" blog post about it.
