Can you recommend a Bing based search engine that works comparably? I've used DDG and it's ok, not great. (I compare most search engines to Google of 10 years ago, which was wonderful.)

Sorry, can't say that I have anything specific to suggest that hasn't already been mentioned in the comments! As the original article shows, getting a search experience that's good, privacy-conscious, and financially sustainable is evidently extremely difficult. If big tech companies continue to implode it might get a little easier to compete though.
