Logan Kilpatrick, lead product manager for Google DeepMind, Gemini, and all AI products at Google, said Google AI Mode will be the default for Google Search “soon.” He said this after Google made google.com/ai go directly to AI Mode’s interface on Friday afternoon.
Depends on your threat model. Generally, whichever country can harm you most, (eg. your residence country, or a privacy-disrespecting one like the USA and China), are to watch out for. Remove those.
And in case you’re forced to still pick one of either… have burner phones, focused each on a different country. So if your threat is the US, go for China, and vice versa. After all, the US hates China, and vice versa. So if you’re looking up stuff that would be illegal in the US but legal in China, that would best be done on a burner for China; after all, China supports enemies of the USA. And vice versa.
Personally I’d say the following ones would be (relatively) good. Good as well is to reduce dependency on a single country, and to compartmentalise your searches. Use a paid VPN and a privacy-respecting browser like LibreWolf.
Anything obscure that isn’t ultimately owned/followed by the US or China.

The more you spread it, the better. Also a good tip, be active at different hours. Not always afternoon, or whatever. Watch your user agent and try to combat deep packet inspection.
Russia annexed Crimea, has military operations in other countries, is currently invading Ukraine with the goal of conquering it, and has Belarus and Transnistria as puppet states, as well as Ossetia and Abchazia. And not to mention, it’s spreading its poison of fascism abroad to Hungary (yet another puppet state) and Trump is bootlicking Putler’s shrimp dick.

Yandex is supported by the fascist, imperialist Russian mafia state.
I’d recommend self-hosted SearXNG instead.
And what search engines do you enable/disable in SearXNG?
SearXNG is one of those “alternatives that pull from google or similar”, which is what @[email protected] wanted to avoid.

Russia is not imperialist. I’m supporting BDS in the way BSD suggests, to the best of my ability.

The only good fascist is a dead one, point said.
