Kagi (Search Engine)

I’ve been using Kagi for a short while and I have to say I love it. I was using Brave Search before and I was quite happy with it, but Kagi is a step up. The only thing I preferred in Brave was the speed and slightly higher quality of AI summaries. The 2 things that have stood out in Kagi are the quality of the results and the customization options (Site promotion or demotion, avoiding certain sites altogether, CSS, custom lenses, widgets, etc…). I think the criticisms regarding ecosystem sprawl are fair enough, but personally I think they are simply trying to offer what people have come to expect from a search engine. It feels like the number of people that purely want a list of results without any"fluff" whatsoever are probably few in number outside of these kinds of forums. As things stand I think they are great from a privacy perspective. I don’t want to reiterate everything stated previously but the business model, audit, policy and the privacy pass option make me firmly believe that my searches will stay private and are not being snooped on. I promise I don’t work for Kagi I’ve just had a great experience and wanted to share.
