I tried it, and liked it, but stopped using it based on cost. If it was open source or somehow contributed to the open web, I would continue paying for it.

I went searching for a new search engine. I tried SearXNG, but I wasn't impressed with the results. So now I use duckduckgo and ecosia, because if I have to indirectly use google, at least I can get some trees planted in the process.

IIRC Ecosia and DDG use Bing as their backend, not Google.
