Unfortunately, as for the last month or so, Qwant has decided that I need to enable javascript execution on my browser in order to deliver the search results, which for security reasons I chose to have disabled.
Now using searxng, and I am pretty happy with it, using qwant as one of the sources.
While I understand the note on Kagi requiring an account making it less private in theory, in practice you can pay using OpenNode and use an anonymous email to sign up which makes it impossible to really tie anything to the real person you are at that point (and functionally like other engines that may use backend fingerprinting to help personalize your results, just in the open).
