searx given the instance can let you set what search engines you use.. it's also privacy focused
Yandex seems less manipulated than Google or Bing in my experience (but I'm also not in Russia) as in they don't hide links so much so you'll get a wider range of links but that goes for everything..
I've tried switching to alternative search engines like Searx unless I'm looking for something hyper specific
Is it... any good? I sometimes use Yandex, but it clearly has a right-wing bent, at least afaik.

Yeah, with Google at least, you have to go to the back of the final page to click the button to stop it from omitting links.
Magi's comment covered how I would have responded honestly.
The only problem with using public Searx instances instead of hosting your own is the downtime
Downtime isn't the worst thing. Honestly, when it comes to browsers, I prefer what it can do than whether it's "fast."
