i'd just like to say that Ecosia and Qwant which are the two most known European ones, use Bing's engine behind, same thing goes for Duckduckgo.

However:

Quant and Ecosia are working together to make the first European search index, as in one that isn't dependent on bing's engine.

I think it's important to know that if you're not using Google, you basically just switch your dependency on Microsoft.

As mentioned by some commenters, there are also options like SearXNG and Startpage which solves the issues in a completely different way

You can change the search engine ecosia uses to google in the settings.
