Edited to clarify.

Things to consider: How much of your data would you be comfortable letting Lemmy sell vs Reddit? If Zuck treated users better, would you be more accepting of Meta monetizing your data every way possible? When it comes to using something for free (tangible or intangible) do you accept a company selling your personal information if their practices align with what you feel is fair?

      I wasn’t aware of SearXNG. It looks cool; if I can get Google results without Google data vulturing, I’m happy. Thanks for the rec!

        You could also try Startpage which is literally just Google search without tracking if SearXNG doesn’t work for you.
