Title says it all. I'll go first:

I don't really have any on my computer (all I use that for is Vim, Firefox, and Git), but on my phone: Orbot (basically Tor as a VPN on your phone).

SearXNG.

It's like having a search engine customised to my needs.

Automatically filters out SEO junk sites, and redirects links automatically (e.g. reddit.com -> old.reddit.com)

    Wait... How do you make SearXNG redirect to old.reddit?

    Change your settings.yml to have this

    enabled_plugins:
  - 'Hostname replace'  # see hostname_replace configuration below

    And then define the rules like this:

    hostname_replace:
#   My redirects
  '(.*\.)?reddit\.com$': 'old.reddit.com'
#   My filters
  'slant\.co': false
  'dailymail\.co\.uk': false
