    Startpage delivers Google's search results in an anonymized way. You don't get the location-related searches, but you don't get the bubbling or privacy violations either. Searx and Startpage are good. So is Qwant and, for some things, DuckDuckGo.

    Yandex is not really a comparable alternative, but it is perhaps the only viable alternative to the search results bias found in nearly every major search engine in the western world.
