I live in a country which uses a language I don’t speak but Google defaults to regional results in spite of my language being set to English. All other engines give me really poor results (not that Google was giving good ones, the image search has really gone to shit since they started populating it with AI stuff).
Ecosia on my desktop (plus some experiments with Kagi), DuckDuckGo on my phone (although sometimes Google’s search widget for quick questions and conversions).
