I've started using uBlockList to block those sites and it does clean it up quite a bit. I assume those sites also work for some, but they're usually of low quality to me so I block them. The second type of searches you describe seem to be better so far, but I've stumbled upon a bunch of obviously generated garbage recently. So not sure how long it'll hold. I've tried things like DDG, YaCy, Bing and others, but often Google is just significantly better (but not necessarily good).
