Another possible stopgap but StartPage couldn’t exist if Google didn’t exist.

If you are talking about search results then Duck couldn't exist without Bing, Yahoo? Startpage has other funding sources like StartMail.
-
Am I mistaken in thinking the Duck has its own crawler/engine? (Will read up on it.)

Hey Brian, so is FindX the only search engine at the moment that does its own crawls? It would be good to be able to support/contribute to one (afaik FindX is closed source, right?) We should chat again soon.

Hey Aral - We have our own crawler and index. Qwant also, afaik primarily indexing french. We are Open Source https://get.findx.com/open-source/ - but centralized - hasn't cracked that one yet, but we're working on the "decentralized ranking" feature - Would love to show it to you.

otoh, they don't track people so they won't have as much data to sell as other search engines

claim that they don't track people*

If they do, they would've gotten sued over a hundred times. I've read their entire privacy policy.

That's... not how this works.
