This is pretty much a. Follow up to my post yesterday and was wondering which search engine to use, I’m leaning stlightly towards mullvad as it is a more reputable and they get their results exclusively from braves index but 4get is open source and has an official instance.

Either is pretty good. If you're looking for more diverse options I'd recommend 4get or a half decent Whoogle or SearxNG instance.

But you're right that you do have to trust the person or group running it, and I think Mullvad has the upper hand there. It's big enough to attract a crowd, and its caching means the results are extra generic too.

If you're looking just for Google results, Startpage is... Fine, I think.

Running a VPN makes any of these options much better.
