I don’t love the idea of paying for search, and I wish their monetization model had a better middle ground, but as far as quality goes, Kagi has been hard to beat.\n\nAstravaris:\n\n> I second Kagi.\n\nBad.Lyonnais:\n\n> I use Kagi and I’m very happy with it.\n\nI have long been tempted to use Kagi both because their business and business model is one I want to support and because I’ve read such unanimous praise of their search engine.\n\nI just haven’t been able to make peace with having all of my web queries tied together / tied to an account, though. Like if I want to customize their engine to suit my needs and use it to its full potential then it could potentially be very identifying. I know they have a Privacy Pass extension but according to their documentation it has some limitations.\n\nHow have you all navigated the balance between privacy and functionality here? Do you use Privacy Pass?",
