This is why I've really grown attached to Kagi (paid search engine).

It's made the internet usable again. I'm honestly surprised how much of difference there is. I'd really recommend people give it a shot. (there's a free trial for it)

Isn't Kagi an AI company with a bunch of shady shit going on? I'm always extremely skeptical of these posts.

I don't know what shady shit you're referring to. They do AI, but I don't use any of that. IMO their core strength is the search engine and how it works for you rather than against.

I never heard anything before this, so I looked around, and there's definitely some posts about it.

I'll have to give them a read.

For now, ignore my recommendation, as I don't yet fully know my stance on this, with the information provided.

However, I can say that I've been super happy with the search results. I don't use their email service. Just the search and the access to all of the LLMs that are out there.

Many people would prefer a paid service over an ad supported one.

Many people would prefer that their search history isn't associated to personal and payment information.

We've been conditioned. Everything has a cost.
