adequate choices

Qwant

Qwant is a search engine based in France. Qwant claims to be privacy oriented, and is pretty neat. Would recommend if you want to dip your hands into private search results. It deletes the IP address connected with a search. They also have a github if you want to check it out. DO NOT use a account, it defeats the purpose of the engine.

Ecosia

Ecosia is a search engine based in Berlin, Germany. Whenever you click a ad or a affliated link in Ecosia it uses that money to help fund a tree. It uses bings data and creates algorithms to enhance the search result.
