Startpage, however really tired of the woke results as it just scrapes Google anonymously

I’ve been using Duck Duck Go for years.

Few searx instances (searx.neocities.org)

Mostly perplexity.ai at this point although it's not a search engine. I ask a question and it gives me a summary of what it found on the internet and links in case I want to dive deeper. But I use Brave for my browser.

Brave, engine or browser, has never given me a reason to go elsewhere.
