+1 for Kagi. $9/month is well worth every dime, considering that searching is one of my main workflow. Google search results are now full of rubbish—ads, SEO-boost junk articles.
Comment on Google Chrome will limit ad blockers starting June 2024

Never thought this would be the thing that drove me to degoogled myself, but here we are. I put myself back in an apple silo purely out of spite. Converted all my gmails to other services, like hey.com and tutanota, I PAY a search engine now Kagi.com.
They really burned my soul. Fuck Google.

I see so many of these comments I can’t help but wonder if it’s an ad campaign by Kagi.

Pretty sure it is, I ended up trying the free trial because of all the yapping. Don’t bother. 99% of the results are the same as ddg.

+1 for ddg, it does everything needed from a search engine without the extra crap, and even if you don’t turn off ads, they’re reasonable and unobtrusive (and they let you turn them off very easily)

It very likely is an Astroturfing campaign to try and get more users.

Step 1: astroturf on lemmy
Step 2:?
Step 3: profit!

I’ll take your word for it. I discarded that notion years ago.

Why not switch to Linux and FOSS alternatives?
Cyberflunk@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I’ve done Linux desktops, and I fight with them too much. Macos is fine by me. Mad respect for Linux users though.
Non android Linux phones just don’t feel ready.
Comfy leashes I guess.
