the best instance by far is the official instance at searx.me. the only problem with this is that this instance is hosted in Germany, so results using Google always return German results. For example, try searching for "MDN Array", and instead of getting English results, you get the German documentation for Arrays.
>Just use an English instance!!
I tried this. They work great except for the fact that trying to use Google Images always returns Errors. Here are all the English instances I've found and they ALL result in an Error when trying to search Google Images:
>the only problem with this is that this instance is hosted in Germany, so results using Google always return German results. Why is this a problem? German is the superior language anyways? Du dummer fetter Ami, lern Deutsch!

I can't find one I really like. Swisscows comes the closest.
I toggle between the following until I find something useful. >Swisscows >Ecoasia >Qwant >Searchencrypt >FindX >Lukol >DDG >BING >Google
>Windows 10 Why do you even care about not using Google as a search engine?

Ads? What ads? Why don't you use an adblocker? I haven't seen any ads on their page with uBlock Origin.

Yeah, I'm pretty satisfied with StartPage.

Sage me a phone poster blokada doesn't hide them.
First post and a few below that is an ad at least on mobile.

how do I do this and how much resources is it going to use? And is it going to turn into a botnet since I'm the sole user?

I don't see ads on Lightning or on Firefox(+uBO), using DNS66. Blokada is shit.

Im German and *I* am annoyed with german-ized search results everywhere (usually by ip geolocation).
english language results are usually more complete / higher quality. often the first thing a German page says is something like >This translation is not complete and a work in progress NO SHIT NIGGA JUST GIVE ME THE ORIGINAL THEN

that's actually a big part of why I stopped using google years ago. It shouldn't be that hard to figure out that if my search keywords are in English then I'd like to please get English results, not local results mixed with irrelevant "personalized" results based on previous searches.
I remember back when I first "discovered" Google nearly two decades ago now. It was amazing how good it was at finding exactly what I was looking for. Now it's totally useless. It's a bit sad.
As for OPs problems, perhaps either running your own private instance or using some friends private instance would help you. The one I'm (ab)using isn't public.

>"MDN Array I do not have a single deutsch result.
Waterfox is terribly outdated so I'm not sure if the latest uBO works. If it doesn't then just use DNS66 instead of blokada, I just tested it and I don't have any ads even with a disabled adblock on Lightning and Firefox.
