I'd pay monthly for a reasonable #searchEngine that either has no AI or lets me definitely permanently turn it all off, and ideally which has features like #startPage which lets you tell it to ignore certain domains (e.g. amazon.com). Also that's not US-based for obvious reasons.

Instead I get "oh please disable your ad blocker" and if I do, then the ads get in the way, slow down the results loading and generally annoy me.
