You can't have something be zero tracking and paid since they need to know if you have paid and so need to be able to track you.

I use DDG for my main search, but there is the !g (i think) that you can prefix a search with to get it sent to google through DDG.

Tracking isn't a necessary component of a subscription service. You can have a model with premium features and/or offerings which doesn't harvest user data, such as searches and more.

I guess you could, but then I would have to depend on the service to hold up their promise not to track me. I don't want that.
