I don’t need these results but I don’t want to support this behaviour/trend. Can anyone recommend a decent non-Google alternative.

Your choices are limited, and very few independent indexes. Most options are Bing alternatives: https://seirdy.one/2021/03/10/search-engines-with-own-indexes.html https://seirdy.one/2021/03/10/search-engines-with-own-indexe...

I've been using Kagi (https://kagi.com https://kagi.com) for a few months and it's been great. It's free while in beta but will be funded by subscription fees afterward. The killer feature for me is the ability to up-rank and down-rank sites in my personal results, which has been really helpful for curating my tech-related searches. It allows me to quickly find high-quality docs and eliminate the garbage.

  I’ve been using Kagi as my primary browser for a while. My only complaint about so far has nothing to do with Kagi itself, I just wish I could set it as my primary search engine in Safari.

  sounds like an AD kagi? are you willing to repeat the same mistakes? promoting unknown proprietary software, as if it was Moses, yet again very suspicious, is kagi made by the people who operate DDG? or it's totally "trustable" set of people? > The killer feature for me is the ability to up-rank and down-rank sites in my personal results how does that work? is that feature tracked by kagi? are they using it to train a ML model?
