Kagi – Paid Search Engine
Switched to Kagi 2 months ago, can't recommend it enough.It's not that it's better than google (although it is for some types of searches). It's that it's not worse. 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.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.Kagi also has nice features like personalized upweighting/downweighting of certain websites.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.It's amazing that a small team can compete with google.
