    might not count, but I use startpage, which uses google while allegedly keeping none of the info that makes google problematic
    sometimes i use duckduckgo,

    in firefox you can make a shortcut to type anything in any searchbar too, like so: (in this example I’ll use kbin.social search)

    We type something into search to get the exact url we need, that ends up being https://kbin.social/search?q=[something] in this case
    [something] is obviously what we typed, so we save a bookmark of https://kbin.social/search?q=%s where %s swaps out what we type when we refer to the bookmark
    Then we give the bookmark a keyword that makes it easy to type, so like, k, now whenever i type ‘k somethingsomething’ it will search somethingsomething on kbin.social

    I use this for youtube, arch wiki, the type-effectiveness graph on bulbapedia pages ( https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/%s_(Pok%C3%A9mon)#Type_effectiveness ), etc, etc
