Why should I use SearxNG? SearxNG has rolling releases, dependencies are updated more frequently, and engines are fixed faster. It is easy to set up your own public instance and monitor its performance and metrics. It is simple to maintain as an instance administrator. As a user, it provides a prettier user interface and nicer experience.
You could be dealing with a Spyware poisoning your search engine results or it's done on a large scale deep packet inspection on the networks you're using.
In the meantime I recommend Searx, it's an open-source metasearch engine.
Just to be clear Duckduckgo isn't at fault & always uses a VPN it's the least you can do to protect yourself online (If there are financial struggles ProtonVPN is a free & open source reliable alternative.).

FreshRSS is a self-hosted RSS feed aggregator, only downside is the language chosen to build it isn't with security & privacy in mind.

FeedMe as a client reader application for the RSS service, again same issue.

But hey it's open source & with no deliberate backdoor programmed, none that's obvious anyways.
