Kagi has quickly grown into something of a household name within tech circles. From Hacker News and Lobsters to Reddit, the search provider seems to attract near-universal praise. Whenever the topic of search engines comes up, there’s an almost ritual rush to be the first to recommend Kagi, often followed by a chorus of replies echoing the endorsement.

Tech people have zero idea what privacy is or should be, and desperately look for anything to make then feel elites. Paying for Kagi is a flex.

Kagi is fine, but it certainly not magic.

Qwant, Startpage, and SearXNG work well.

Ecosia is DDG (which is Bing results) as a non-profit.

Mojeek...ugh, you stupid but nice guy. You'll get there one day.

Ecosia and Qwant I read are partnering to make a discrete search index.

Although I don't know the current status of the effort, it may not be Bing for much longer.

they've already launched it, and it turned out to be an AI-first index :/ https://staan.ai/
