minus-squareJoanie ParkerlinkEnglish5•30 days agoStarted paying for Kagi. I’m done with Google or Bing.
minus-squareJoanie ParkerlinkEnglish1•29 days agoSure it is. So are the sponsored results. Something you don’t get on Kagi.
minus-square@ripcordlinkEnglish0•29 days agoIt uses a whole bunch of potential sources. It is not a front-end for Bing like, say, DuckDuckGo.
minus-squarez3rOR0nelinkfedilinkEnglish7•29 days agoIf that’s the case, why not use searx? I could only see myself using a paid search engine if It demonstrably returned results relevant to my search more accurately than their competitors It was well documented that they respected my privacy and how It showed me no advertisements It doesn’t utilize SEO marketing tactics to adjust its search results It supported !bangs for very fast searching of specific websites and/or other search engines

minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish9•29 days agoWell I guess the main difference would be that Firefox is a web browser not a search engine lmao. Fuck kagi though, CEO/owner is an antisocial lunatic

minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish9•29 days agoClinically antisocial, not introverted. Nothing wrong with it necessarily, but it can lead to some negative outcomes for sure.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish5•29 days agoI won’t kinkshame you lol but the negatives almost certainly outweigh the positives for humanity at large.

Have you tried Kagi?
Why would they? Bing is free.
Sure it is. So are the sponsored results. Something you don’t get on Kagi.
Have you tried an adblock?

What’s wrong with being antisocial?
