It's impressive how duckduckgo manages to be so much better than bing despite being a frontend for bing
I've been using my own searxng instance for a few months now and my god I'm never going back.

I wouldn't say it's borderline unusable tbh...
The first adware result is blocked with any ad blocker, the fact you see it means you might not have your ad blocker on, or disabled in incognito mode.
The second and third copilot bullshit sections can be toggled off from any search result page, on the sidebar settings there's a toggle.

Next time just go directly to the domain. You don't need to rely on a search engine for all web navigation, you know.
I have to constantly remind myself that the average user today cannot tell the difference between a search engine and a web browser.
And we have the URL bar pulling double duty as a search engine entry form to thank for that.

Sigh... But hey, at least it doesn't force you to make an account!
