Nice writeup! Privacy-friendly search engine DuckDuckGo also has one similar to the Google one:

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Also there's one I made called Icon Horse that has some additional features:

Wasn't aware of those ones, nice to know thanks !
I would just state that Icon Horse is not free (but still a very nice tool).

Do you know if duckduckgo supports parameters, such as the size hint for example ?

To my knowledge DDG doesn’t have various customisation params available.

Icon Horse is free, but premium features cost money.

Icon horse seems quite nice! Big image, doesn't stop at redirections, very cool.
