The feds are also weighing “less severe” options, such as requiring Google to share data with rival search engines such as DuckDuckGo and Microsoft’s Bing.
Brendan Eich should be blacklisted in the tech world. It’s really too bad that they partnered with a bigot and his shitty company.
When I was younger, I thought Brendan Eich was a god for creating JavaScript and his contributions to web development. Then he started to speak about his personal views, and he instantly went from a god to an evil villain to me.
How can somebody so smart be so dumb and evil at the same time?
The price seems reasonable IMO. Search engines are expensive to run, and I’m not sure they’d even be breaking even at the moment.
They have a “small web” search that searches through small sites like blogs, which I really like. Sometimes there’s small sites that have great info but aren’t ranked very high in Google due to all the SEO spam and Google’s preference for major sites.
I’ve been using it for the last few months, and while it doesn’t offer as many “nice to have” features as Google (like automatically finding mask results need in where you are), the core functionality works great, and the lack of ads is refreshing.
I’ve been paying for it for a few months now, I like it. You do have to be a more deliberate in search results, especially if you’re looking for location specific info, but that’s how old Google was too anyway. The summerize site and fastGPT features can be pretty useful too.
Just a silly example, I was playing skyrim and wanted a duplicate item so I could display it, put in “skyrim console command to spawn item” and it spit out the console command perfectly
I tried kagi for a month and the results were probably as good or slightly better than Google for 90% of searches but it completely falls apart any time you want something local or hyper-specific. It made me realize that the personalization that people hate with Google’s results actually saves a ton of time because I had to retry a lot of kagi searches with additional context.
Blocking ads and trackers in your browser and then using Google without an account will get you most of the way to what kagi is doing.
“Kagi Search” looks cool. The examples of searches look far superior to even that of google.
But it’s $5 per month. (No ads) Or $8 for couples. Even so I think I will try it. The search results look really good.
Has anyone here used Kagi Search?
I wanted to like Kagi, but their Brave fiasco turned me off of them for good

I use it now, and like it. Do you have any questions about it?
