What are your thoughts on Kagi’s deal with Brave, and the owner’s response to the backlash where he basically called it a woke backlash?
I’m on Kagi, it works pretty well, but that basically stained my perception of them. Not necessarily the fact that they’re dealing with Brave, but the response he gave to dodge the question.
Unfortunate at best. But if I moved away from every product where company leaders demonstrate themselves to be crappy people, I don’t think there would be anything left.
Do you have some more info on this? Kagi was starting to become an appealing proposition. Brave was an obvious stink from day 1. Is there is a collaboration between the two?
I’ve never gotten past Luke-warm with duck duck go. I don’t have anything bad to say about it, but I don’t really have any praises to sing beyond it gives us the privacy we ought have.
Duck duck go never “engaged” me as a user so I don’t have meaningful feedback to give.
That privacy point is also iffy considering they dont block trackers from Microsoft. Everybody else could just buy off this data from Microsoft instead of directly from Duckduckgo.
Not that anyone asked, but I’ve been really happy using kagi as my primary search engine. Qwant is usually #2 on my list.
But if I’m trying buy something, I’ll use google if I can otherwise find it through the others.

That seems like a healthy stance, thank you for your input.
I think I’ll keep using Kagi for now.
