I use DDG on desktop but on mobile they are unusable. Their app displays three ads out of 4 results in a page. A simple typo gives me completely different results.

I will continue to hope there is some kind of subscription to Google search without tracking and all.

About the tracking part, you may like to check Whoogle Search - https://github.com/benbusby/whoogle-search It's Google results without the tracking, and it can be self-hosted.

This looks great. I wish Nextdns provided this.

I have used NextDNS in the past (pihole now) but I wonder what Whoogle does different from DNS filters.

This would be ideal as Google Search has the best results for me. But I don't see it ever happening.

Although I'm sure many people would pay, it'd be a drop in the ocean compared to all people that wouldn't (and hard to justify dedicating resources to it when you're already making tons of money with the ad-supported free version).
