I find myself using duckduckgo and kagi more and more. All search engines suck, honestly, but the not-Google choices maybe suck a little less. Google results have gotten horrible, it's so obvious it's just serving up sponsored ad links, not actual information. I mean, that's been the case for a long time but they've really dialed up the suck.
How do you justify Kagis pricing? I search so much everyday that that I would need the "Ultimate" plan which is just too expensive when other alternatives are just free.
I haven't paid for it yet, just been dabbling with it. If I do end up paying for it, I guess it's like anything else, is it worth it to me, personally? I don't have an answer yet, but the ads funded model got us to the shitshow we have today.
My partner and I are on the duo plan with 1500 searches and haven't hit our limit. I've honestly been surprised how little we search?
You may be too, Kagi is very good. I haven't regretted paying for it at all.
