      Startpage uses outside search results, but should be very secure like DuckDuckGo, and better certified.
      Qwant is AFAIK more independent, and I like the layout better.

      Both give pretty good search results IMO, but are somewhat lacking in map/geographic searches. For instance searching “Angola” could result in a restaurant in London. Just as a hypothetical example.
      So I do use Google maps too.

      qwant = 95% bing results, startpage = 98% google results. They are slimmer. They don’t keep your search history or ip address. better for privacy but not much better for search results.
