Started paying for Kagi. I'm done with Google or Bing.
Have you tried Kagi?
It uses a whole bunch of potential sources. It is not a front-end for Bing like, say, DuckDuckGo.
If that's the case, why not use searx? I could only see myself using a paid search engine if
It demonstrably returned results relevant to my search more accurately than their competitors
It was well documented that they respected my privacy and how
It showed me no advertisements
It doesn't utilize SEO marketing tactics to adjust its search results
It supported !bangs for very fast searching of specific websites and/or other search engines
I don't know about #2, but the other 4 are true. #1 may be somewhat subjective but in my experience it is certainly true.
What about Firefox? Can't say that I've ever heard of Kagi myself, what makes it so special?
Well I guess the main difference would be that Firefox is a web browser not a search engine lmao. Fuck kagi though, CEO/owner is an antisocial lunatic
What's wrong with being antisocial?
Clinically antisocial, not introverted. Nothing wrong with it necessarily, but it can lead to some negative outcomes for sure.
Yeah, I'm fine with it.
I won't kinkshame you lol but the negatives almost certainly outweigh the positives for humanity at large.
That describes most CEOs.
Most are smart enough to hide it.
