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.

That sounds like a big plus. Someone else said this was some self hosted thing though which is over my head unfortunately

There are public instances: https://searx.space/

This is one someone previously suggested, and the one I tried that seems to work well: https://search.disroot.org/ - I see it's not in the list above though. Not sure why.

So its like an individual runs the search engine? Like a lemmy instance?

Yes, I think so.
