      Yandex is supported by the fascist, imperialist Russian mafia state.

      I’d recommend self-hosted SearXNG instead.

        And what search engines do you enable/disable in SearXNG?

        SearXNG is one of those “alternatives that pull from google or similar”, which is what @manuallybreathing@lemmy.ml wanted to avoid.

          Depends on your threat model. Generally, whichever country can harm you most, (eg. your residence country, or a privacy-disrespecting one like the USA and China), are to watch out for. Remove those.

          Personally I’d say the following ones would be (relatively) good. Good as well is to reduce dependency on a single country, and to compartmentalise your searches. Use a paid VPN and a privacy-respecting browser like LibreWolf.

          • Anything obscure that isn’t ultimately owned/followed by the US or China.

          • Qwant
