Since Internet search has and will change, which search engines do you use successfully, and what are their advantages?
Startpage, google search results without ads, trackers but much slower, the slowness can get annoying sometimes when my internet speed is bad

I use a searxng instance as-well, one I can host myself. Besides the cool factor of hosting your own personal search engine you can tweak the setting a on a server level as you wish and you know the machine your queries are going to.
When I want to try something AI related I use the Bing AI though, it can pull from multiple search results when giving an answer which is cool.
Kagi.com no ads, private, you pay a subscription so they look for your interest instead of you being the product, has many customizations, very responsive company, very good use of AI, super fast, doesn’t require javascript, and many other things, just give it a try
What paid plan do you use ? If it’s not the ultimate plan, do you often go over the “limit” ? I’m interested, but I have a hard time knowing what plan I will actually require.
I’m also on the early adopter unlimited plan. What I suggest is that you take a conservative plan and observe your behavior, you can always upgrade to a bigger plan later
