Google does not own duckduckgo, you got your facts wrong.

It doesn't take millions of dollars to start a search engine.

Like 90% of my searches are for the same couple hundred Web-sites, the index could easily fit on a $400 SSD drive.

We need more smaller specialized search engines, ideally "open data" ones you could clone to your local NAT server. Only use general purpose search engines when necessary.

qwant seems a bit Eurocentric

They are pro-censorship and article 13, so into the trash it goes. If you really care about search engines beyond DDG and startpage you should look at a free and decentralized one like searx.me

Always search $companyName net neutrality, it's the easiest political litmus test. If they support FCC control, they're commies - boycott!
