DDG mostly. I’m not unhappy with Kagi on any particular technical aspect, but I’m not happy about the fact that I learned that it was operating out of Serbia (it was often listed as being based in the San Francisco Bay Area; this appears to actually be a residence of the founder). I’d be much more comfortable about them getting in practical legal trouble if they wound up retaining data if they were operating in a US or EU or something legal jurisdiction. I posted about it to !kagi@programming.dev a while back.
If they moved operations to the US or somewhere like that, I’d have no problem using them.

Thanks, good to know. I split between DDG and Kagi, not entirely happy with either.
I miss the old google.
