Try using a google mirror instead, like Startpage. The google results without the spying.

Startpage is in bed with an advertising company.

Startpage is a search engine so it doesn't really sleep, hence no need for a bed or any bed-sharing. And we don’t collect or share your personal information.
And yes, we announced last year that System1/Privacy One invested in Startpage. Rest assured, the Startpage founders continue to run the company as before and they have control over the privacy components of Startpage. With this investment, we hope to further expand our privacy features & reach new users. More info on the investment: https://support.startpage.com/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Artic...

Google is an advertising company, so Startpage isn't any worse.

There are other choices, such as SearX, DuckDuckGo, and Ecosia.
