I stopped using the Google for everything (minus youtube) years ago. I had moved to Ecosia, I believe it is a US based charity (edit I was corrected it is a European non profit) project to plant trees in the desert and stuff. I know it took search things from, I wanna say; Google, Bing, and maybe Yahoo to get search results (will be trying to move to the EU search engine some time). I am sure the ads, that my pihole setup could not block, they show where from Google (edit Yahoo and Google) but it is not like I intentionally clicked them.

I got onto the self hosting train fairly hard because of the BoycottUS movement and I finally got searXNG working and set up as my default search engine on my iPad. Sure it is pulling results from US search engines but I am not paying for them (via my eyeballs on ads) and it is another US service I get to remove from the list of things to boycott!
