Not as a advertisement, but I would recommend Brave. Supposedly private. It still sometimes gives an “AI” answer at the top, but I dont think it alters the order in websites shown.

I tested a few years ago, and I had issues with registering, probably due to two-factor authentication. For now, I am testing DuckDuckGo. Thank you for your suggestion.

I'm not brave enough to try brave.

Mayhaps you could look at Bing or Duck Duck Go. Just try some and settle on the one that gives you the results you want most.

I just don't trust anything Google and don't even use Google Maps.

I know around 100 people who work at google; eng team is very good but corporate is greedy as greedy can be greedy; basic captilistic company. Oh well.
