The question is why the hell are you still directly connecting to google servers. Aggregate it with a public SearXNG instance that way your traffic is masked with others also using that instance.
Alternatively you can use Startpage but that’s proprietary, and iirc have been making some poor decisions as of late.
Could you fill me in on those decisions you mentioned from Startpage? I’ve been trusting it for a while now but don’t really keep up with a whole lot of things.
I may have read a repost of an old article as this appears to have happened way back in 2019, however:
