Looking for new search engine (lemmy.today)

I've been using duckduckgo for years now with no issues, but today I opened it and realized there were no longer any search results before scrolling. It was all ads/info cards. So I guess I'm looking for a replacement. Any suggestions?

Related: anyone know if there's a way in the Adnauseum Firefox extension to hide ads on a specific trusted site? I like their goal of not punishing ads following the do not track standard, but DDG has crossed a threshold and I now want to blacklist them specifically.

Is your adblocker not stopping them?

I'm partial to ecosia.org myself. Search while helping to plant more trees!

I do wonder how they get the money to plant these trees, hmm...

edit: oh, look at that! Even ecosia started getting into AI. Truly impossible for search engines not to get into AI territory these days, funny right? Even kagi did.

I use Qwant, a French search engine. Much better.

I use DDG but caveat emptor it's using Bing as a backend. I find it is very good at certain things google censors like finding streams of obscure films though.
