I just read a report about censorship on search engines. The result was, that Google is basically the worst when it comes to that, and the Russian Yandex and, ironically, Microsoft's Bing censor the least. No test of Yacy as OSS alternative was made.

Startpage uses Google, just proxied. DuckDuckGo uses Bing, so you should be fairly ok for now, @Dwayne Parsons.

I do like the idea of YaCy. Imagine if every PC on the net had its own search and crawling and the results would be distributed somehow across all.

Proton seems ok, though hard to tell. May well be another Crypto AG. Who knows. Do use Tor, if you can, to connect, since just recently they were forced to give out the IP address of a user.

@Harka @Dwayne Parsons I used to have good luck with duckduckgo but I've noticed they've started censoring covid vax injury data heavily so switched to swisscows.ch, that was good until very recently when they changed their entire interface and now they are censoring. I never did have good luck with bing personally but yandex has been good. Yacy is federated, like this, so one node can censor but nobody can censor the entire network. Also with yacy you can crawl anything you want and it becomes part of the whole federated network. When you search something it searches your database but also the entire network. It is memory intensive though and the last machine did not have enough. I'm putting together a machine with 256gb and 14 cores so I can run a bunch of search threads simultaneously.
