i just switched from the google search engine to duckduckgo and so far i liked it, it does not have the gorillions of ai slop google has to offer, the search is okayish and i can work with it. unlike google, they dont force the ai shit onto you, even by default, but what are the cons to this search engine apart from the maybe occasional worse searches?

I've been using the duckduckgo search engine as well too recently. I mean it does protect you from trackers so ig that's a plus

maybe google searches are "better" because of more trackers? if thats the case then i prefer duckduckgo infinitely more

I think this is a little unrelated but what are your thoughts on Brave's search engine?
It claims to not invade your privacy, or whatever.

duckduckgo engages in politically motivated censorship and removal of results, but for 99.99℅ of things you should be fine
https://duck.ai is also free and supposedly doesn't track you

they made a deal with microcock to allow their trackers (who will then sell that data and compromise all your privacy anyway). They also blocked russian news websites by command of some western organization, which is a slippery slope if soyciety keeps heading in the totalitarian direction that it is.
so i use brave search
yandex is also a good option i heard

duckduckgo and google both suck dick&balls&cock if you are searching for pirated media. Yandex is keyed because it doesn't care 'bout DMCA o algo

If your issue is privacy, your search engine matters less than how you browse.

You cannot trust anyone tracks you less than say, Google; you have no access to verify server side code. Therefore, privacy burdens remain on you

Using anti-fingerprint tech, IP masking (think VPN, Tor, proxies), never making accounts, etc
