You might try StartPage (https://www.startpage.com/). I use them happily for about a year now. Disclaimer: I am not affiliated with StartPage in any way.

IIRC StartPage has the same results as Google, but just proxies, right? Don’t see how it would help the parent commenter.

It’s good in combination with DuckDuckGo though, instead of the `!g` bang, you can do `!sp`

I just checked and you're 100% right! They're totally same. I wasn't aware of this until a minute ago. I'm sorry for the confusion I caused by the original comment. The advice about combination of DDG and SP is quite sound, thank you for that.
