I haven't used Google for many years, so I can't speak to whether it shows personalized results today. But, I recently switched to Whoogle Search (https://github.com/benbusby/whoogle-search) which shows Google results but without the tracking. I am happy with it, that I have completely ditched DuckDuckGo in favor of it.

There is also startpage.com, which gives you Google search results but with privacy. But my problem is finding relevant information.

Startpage is now owned by an advertising company [1]

Hmm "advertising company" as in "a company that is in the business of selling ads"? So same like Google, DuckDuckGo and Brave?
