Can you create a short guide that I can share with non-tech people for the metasearch engines you recommend?
Uh sorry, I don't have a good recommendation. I myself use a self-hosted instance of SearXNG but that's a bit much for the non-tech people and it doesn't work that well due to all the rate-limiting of Google etc so it'll intermittently stop working and I just can't recommend it. I know lots of people use Duckduckgo, Startpage or Ecosia. But I'm not an expert on them, if they provide privacy or whether they care for the environment or do green washing. So I'm afraid I can't make a good statement here.
