I’ve been trying to find a good privacy respecting browser, but I can’t really decide on what to use. I don’t like the search results with Brave Search. DuckDuckGo shares my information with Microsoft and SearchXNG shows me NSFW images even with strict search on. I really like Presearch, but I’m not really sure what they’re about.
EDIT: After tinkering with the settings of my SearXNG instance, it seems to have reduced the amount of NSFW images. I think I will stick with SearXNG for now.

Have you considered StartPage ?
It returns google results whilst stripping of all google tracking and does not track itself either.
There’s some concern now that Startpage is majority owned by an ad company. The company says they want the ad revenue rather than the user data, but it’s hard to trust that. I used to use it but moved to Searxng.
What does DDG share with Microsoft?
It’s probably not that big of a deal, but I just don’t want anything to do with Microsoft.
So they only share when you click on an ad. I use an adblocker anyway, so effectively they’re not sharing anything. Or do I misunderstand?
I think it’s more of a trust issue.
Exactly. It’s sorta like all or nothing. If they share this, go figure what else. And maybe you misunderstood or missed some other parts.
