I use duck duck go. The browser on my phone even auto opts out of cookies

You can also do that with Firefox on your computer.

It's not in settings, but you can easily google the instructions.

Duck duck go also runs it's own vpn which is great if you can't root your phone.

You can use system-wide VPNs on Android without root

DuckDuckGo is also so much better for search results since Google made theirs shit.

I can find websites pretty easy on DuckDuckGo which just don't exist on Google.

damn google has really gotten shit then. I used to avoid duckduckgo because of how much better google was.

Google used to be like "we have found 10 quadrillion websites with your term" and you could click page 173 and it would give you the list for as many times as you wanted to click

Then they went to giving you several pages but if you clicked past page two they would be like hahaha psych there are actually only two pages of results for "starcraft two newbie tips"

Now I'll search for specific phrases I know I read somewhere and I'll get like, three god damn results.

Really? On the entire internet? Three results?

It's just disrespectful and insulting
