Sidenote, i am with you fully - and you may be interested in `!s` - Startpage. I know very little about them, so please - do your own research, but supposedly they straight use Google, so your results are basically Google without giving your info "directly" to Google.

Of course the question arises, should you trust them? No idea, please - do your own research, maybe let me know hah. But i basically never touch Google these days, as i use DDG for all my searches and !s for any fallbacks.

I use Startpage for certain escalated queries as well.

Irrespective of Startpage's motives, using them provides a layer of indirection between me and Google associating every search with a Google account.

Startpage is now owned by an advertising company (reddit.com)
