DuckDuckGo made a deal with the devil. Due to a confidential search agreement, the DuckDuckGo browser does not block all Microsoft trackers. What’s worse, DuckDuckGo only acknowledged this “privacy hole” after it was discovered by a security researcher.
I think also this is the best alternative i switch to this few months ago but also searchEncrypt don’t look bad. I advise to everyone always to do your own research
For ease of use, StartPage and Mojeek. Brave search seems interesting, too, but I’m pretty skeptical of Brave in general. Also, DDG’s web search is not a part of this, so it’s still tracker-free. Just the Android app sucks now; that said, I can see why many not feel comfortable using it anymore even still.
For max privacy, other people are right about Searx, self-hosted ideally.
What is the best alternative?

Selfhosted Searx instance.

I didn’t know the alternative that you mentioned. Thanks for the heads up, I’ll look it up. (:
But the default behaviour is to expose the server’s IP to the actual search engines, do you use VPN or something at the server side?
Searx as of now. You can also check out Whoogle
