Until the past month, when I would search for a news story on StartPage, it would give me several pages of listings under the news tab unless it was an obscure story. Now, it gives me a single page. At the bottom of the page, there's a single 1 instead of the multiple digits there used to be. Same for Brave. Looks like they've been cucked.
I'm not using Bing or Google, or their whore, duckduckgo.
Least worst in current landscape is Yandex.
It's not google or bing, but it also censors and tracks you, so it's not the least worst. Brave, Mojeek and private.sh/gigablast is.
