    Unfortunately, both of them alter search results based on locational data rather than merely responding to user input

    The only ones I’ve found that don’t are Mojeek and some SearXNG instances

      @sj_zero Just wanted to share this information, is not a recommendation which search engine you should use. Not everyone feel comfortable with using a search engine which is closed source and owned by a company, some rather wanna use a opensource search engine hosted by a invidual or a group of people, some other people prefer search engines like DuckDuckGo since they work put of the box without problems and have usually a better usability for the modt people, then SearX (or SearXNG) does.

    To add… if you install the DuckDuckGo browser app on your android phone, it will block all the trackers in your other apps!

    Fair warning though, you will likely feel a bit of shock & horror to find out just how often you’re being tracked, and what sort of data these apps are sucking down relentlessly and constantly. Even the ones you haven’t used for a while.
