You do need an advanced tool to navigate the web now. It takes a lot of effort to filter trash from searches thanks to Google making every result into slop listicle. And even worse now they are AI slop listicles.
Have you tried uBlacklist and SearXNG?
I've been meaning to try SearXNG, actually, thank you for the reminder. Is there a good instance you'd recommend to check it out? Otherwise I'll just test it on one of the ones linked from their repo.
I personally like baresearch.org and SearXNG.site and switch hqcobajd forth if either gets temporarily suspended for making too many requests. I also saw a tutorial on YT on how to set up your own instance if you're not on mobile. I do highly recommend still using ublacklist alongside SearXNG, since that helps block all the SEO spam and listicles.
