    Because Kagi is a really good search engine, and because a search engine is the thing that it’s most important to keep ads far away from.

    I’m not getting it though because it’s American, I ain’t paying a subscription to an American company.

      I tried it for a few months it frankly was just objectively worse then using duckduckgo/bing.

      It was just pissing money into a hole.

        I have a very different experience: duckduckgo only succeeded in simple queries for me, anything complex failed and I had to switch to google. And Kagi works for me even better than google.

          Do you mind giving me an example? I have issues with technical questions but with enough coaxing I could find what I was looking for.

            I have switched a while ago and don’t have specific examples at hand. I do use quite some technical questions for work, and struggled with getting answers to them from duckduckgo. Kagi barely ever needs coaxing, and when it fails I can’t get results from google either.
