Three years ago, I migrated from Gmail to FastMail because I was afraid of losing access to my digital life on Google's whim. Two years ago, I found out that my favorite Youtube creators were all on Nebula. One year ago, I switched my phone to LineageOS to get security updates a little longer. A month ago, I installed OpenStreetMaps because Google Maps got really bad at showing points-of-interest. And today, Kagi rem…

You should check out Pop!_OS

I went from Windows to Pop!_OS, and was surprised how it just worked flawlessly on all my hardware right after installing, the UI is nice too.

Kagi does not log and associate searches with an account.

Unless you work at Kagi I am not taking that too seriously.

It looks like their privacy policy backs this up. It’s also written in plain English, which I adore.

“Searches are anonymous and private to you. Kagi does not log and associate searches with an account.”

I don't Work at Kagi either, but I can ready their Privacy Policy: https://kagi.com/privacy

> Searches are anonymous and private to you. Kagi does not log and associate searches with an account.

They also double down on this in their FAQ: https://help.kagi.com/kagi/company/faqs.html#i-am-still-worr...

I find their reasoning solid and choose to believe them (for now).

You clearly use an ad blocker. That page is over 50% ads.

Wow. I just loaded it and then turned off the adblocker and reloaded it. It's like you need another search engine just to find the content in the page hidden amongst all those ads. I can't believe some people actually use the internet like that all the time.

Yes people are. And it’s the least technically literate people with “outdated” machines and bad connections that slug through the web like this. They don’t know what to trust and often fall prey to deceptive tactics.

I’m waiting to pay $10/month for search+email. That I will do as I also keep meaning to switch off gmail to a pay service.

Icloud is $0.99/mo to bring your own domain if you’re already on ios.

That’s what I’ve been doing, and it’s worked nicely.

It’s not that Kagi is better at search, it’s that Kagi is cleaner and more efficient. It doesn’t do bullshit dark patterns, reward SEO, track the shit out of you, or hide valuable tools. I’m a huge fan of the lenses feature. Specifically for technical searches… I can filter for forums only or PDFs only or academic stuff only.

> It’s not that Kagi is better at search, it’s that Kagi is cleaner and more efficient. It doesn’t do bullshit dark patterns, reward SEO, track the shit out of you, or hide valuable tools. Yet. Google did the same originally. Super clean, just delivered whatever was searched for; no more, no less. When Kagi gets a taste of how much money is available for tracking and profiling users. and theyll start small. And since…

All good things do come to an end. There’s no argument here.

But I think we’re in a different situation when people are willing to pay monthly for search.

There is also exactly 0 risk involved here for a consumer. If this product stops being worth your time and money, just stop using it?

It’s not comparable to say, buying a service or product that you build on top of. No lock-in in that sense.

> yet another stackoverflow copy I never got why these even ever appear in Google search results (or any search results, really). It feels like it would be super trivial to identify sites that are scraped copies of other sites. Granted, without foreknowledge, the engine doesn't know which is the original. But at the very least this can be determined by a human once, and then the problem goes away forever for that par…

That ship has already sailed, they are already using AI in mass to generate original looking content.

Trying to find any guides for anything in Baldur's Gate 3 returns page upon page of AI generated garbage, a sure sign of things to come.
