Kagi – Paid Search Engine
Switched to Kagi 2 months ago, can't recommend it enough.<p>It's not that it's <i>better</i> than google (although it is for some types of searches). It's that it's not <i>worse</i>. Bing and DuckDuckGo are worse than google. I tried to switch to DDG many times, but fell back to google at least 1/3 of the time.<p>I haven't googled a single thing since switching to Kagi. Easily worth the $10/mo to not have my search history monetized, and to work with a company whose incentives are maximally aligned with giving me the content I am searching for.<p>Kagi also has nice features like personalized upweighting/downweighting of certain websites.<p>The Kagi team is also super responsive to feedback. I've submitted a few bug/feature requests that have gotten fixed within a week or two.<p>It's amazing that a small team can compete with google.
