I tried Yandex for a while. Decent results but I had to switch to English every time I restarted my browser because I throw out all cookies when I close it. Maybe there's a way to avoid that but I was too lazy to try :)
I've been using Brave search since then. It's ok for 95% of the searches but it's not great for complex searches, but neither was DDG. One advantage of Brave is that it has decent local search results (I'm not in the US). DDG sucked at that.

It defaults to English for me.
Find that cookie and set it to read-only or set as protected in your browser. It's possible.
