Greetings. uBlock Origin is a great choice. However I must add that you should instead opt for a custom user.js and drop Privacy Badger and Decentraleyes as they are mostly redundant. Refer this.
As for Startpage and DuckDuckGo, I suggest avoiding them. These are not open source search engines and have a suspicious and questionable history regarding their ethical position. I suggest SearXNG. It is an open source Meta Search Engine, i.e., it congregates results related to your search from multiple search engines without giving them your IP. As it is open source, it is self hostable (you may request your instance admin to host one if you wish to) and multiple instances exist. Make your selection here.
