Can you provide a TL;DR of the article? I'm a DDG user but open to considering alternatives, never heard of kagi and tried searX a long time ago.

Currently, whenever DDG doesn't cut it, I add the !sp bang and get Google results through StartPage. I know that SP is owned by an advertising company but I still prefer them to straight up Google. I tried using searX to get proxied Google results but it required a few extra steps so I don't usually go for it.

I use kagi as it still uses all of the ddg !bangs, and at some point they will ask me to pay for them (they are in free beta ATM) rather than show me ads which I'm excited for.

Checkout https://you.com - it's privacy focussed, ad-free and also supports bangs

and, unfortunately, it's zero-HTML and requires modern JS to function. :(
