Try SearXNG. SearXNG is a free internet metasearch engine which aggregates results from more than 70 search services. Users are neither tracked nor profiled. Additionally, SearXNG can be used over Tor for online anonymity.

List of available instances.

As is Startpage now.

Startpage is owned by an advertising company

And DDG is on record for censorship and caving to Microsoft. They also both provide results based off MS and Google results.

Neither are ideal. It's why only use them as a fallback. Brave Search all the way.

I very, very strongly disagree.
