Considering you're already on Google Search, which is far from a privacy-focused search engine. I'd say switch to Bing.

Why?
  • if you actively collect Microsoft Reward points
  • if you use the Windows Search bar (example; searches open directly from Search bar to default browser)
  • results are similar, but require some adjusting when switching away from Google's search algorithms.
  • afaik, DDG shares results from Bing search.
