Startpage is just a privacy frontend for Google.
The quality was just as miserable as Google last I checked; seriously underestimating me and overestimating their miserable Artificial Intelligence.
I don't know if it works privacy wise but I assume so.
(Think I'm hyperbolic here? No, I'm not and I've saved screenshots of some of the spectacularly dumb things their AI does: https://erik.itland.no/more-fun-with-google-mixing-images-from-different-source https://erik.itland.no/more-fun-with-google-mixing-images-fr...)
Edit:
Try also kagi.com (if you can get access), Neeva, you.com, wiby (two different ones) and just for fun also https://search.marginalia.nu https://search.marginalia.nu
The last one runs on a desktop machine in some living room in Sweden and held off a massively upvoted story here on HN. Not production quality but still a joy to use and have sometimes brought me better results than both Google and DDG.
