I live in a country which uses a language I don't speak but Google defaults to regional results in spite of my language being set to English. All other engines give me really poor results (not that Google was giving good ones, the image search has really gone to shit since they started populating it with AI stuff).

Big fan of DuckDuckGo and Startpage. Brave Search is also a fine choice, as well.

I use duckduckgo with Google as a backup for when what I'm searching for is too specific. I've had to use Google less and less lately though

Been using Duck Duck Go too for a while. Not heard of Startpage before.

I’ve also been using Duck Duck go. I hadn’t heard about Startpage before.

Used Duckduckgo for a while, got myself into a spiral of search engine exploration and at some point settled on Startpage for a while...but I just missed the maturity in functionality of Duckduckgo. It just always felt like I was making a usability/productivity sacrifice. So I returned and am still happy ... for now :p
