If you search a lot, you should really look into Kagi Search, "a highly accurate, lightning-fast, user-centric, 100% privacy-respecting search engine with results augmented by non-commercial indexes and personalized searches." Much better than the ad-supported ones, or even DDG, in my experience.
Nah, it's definitely not important enough for me to pay for it.
Kagi may not sound good on its own, but what if I told you that they also turn around and give your money to a roundly disliked bigot, and cannot be dissuaded from doing this?
The problem is that you are required to give them your payment information and you need an account. That doesn't sound privacy respecting to me.
I'm not terribly thrilled with it, but a lot of VPNs do as well. Plus, this is their business model. If you're not paying for the product, you are the product. If they're caught double dipping (taking our money and lying about logging to sell), they'll be out of business shortly.
They do claim to log practically nothing. https://kagi.com/privacy
Yeah, there are definitely better alternatives. If they allowed you to pay in cash and there website was free of non-free JavaScript I would be at least willing to try it.
