I don’t know if your claims are true, misinformed, rumors. On the censor bit all companies operate within the law of the country they are in .

They have been confirmed by the CEO of Kagi and its docs. https://kagifeedback.org/d/5445-reconsider-yandex-integratio... > On the censor bit all companies operate within the law of the country they are in . Yes, that's why I don't want my money poured from Kagi to Yandex, a company owned by the state of a country that invaded its neighbour and doing war crimes.

Sure but whatever company you pay for in any industry will do as they are legally told eventually

These comments feel like llm authored astro turfing…

I'm a customer of Kagi who is in no way affiliated with Kagi, other than sending them money. I agree with bayindirh: It’s possibly the single most impactful thing in my digital life. I know that we live in a world where tech increasingly sucks, and positive comments on tech are (correctly!) seen as suspicious. The thing, though, is that Kagi is genuinely just a great product, and search is such a central part of usin…

>trustworthy search makes a huge difference

That's the rub. Today on the internet, no one can validate that there exists any "trustworthy search". If we don't control the servers and validate the software on it, then we are taking someone's word for it. Most often that someone is a marketing person at the hosting organization. Occasionally it's a random comment on the internet behind a pseudonym we know nothing about.

People are becoming more and more, justifiably, cynical. And it's good for society that they are.

EU countries are also funding the war. Which EU-hosted services could we make optional in Kagi, if any?

You mean funding the war to repel the clear, unambiguous aggressor ? Yes.

I agree whole heatedly with severing ties with Yandex, but no, Europe still continues to funnel billions of Euros to Russia; €5.57B in goods (plus €7.81B in exports) and €3.63B in energy[0] in Q1 2026.

On the other hand, your comment sounds to me like Anti-Kagi astroturfing.

Together, both comments make a good example of the reason one should not trust what one reads on the internet.

It sucks. But there's just too much astro-turfing.

If a majority of users switch to ad-powered free tiers, a majority of users will see well-written, targeted advice that is ads (lies!) in disguise. This is a horrible future to consider. The more I think about it, the more I come to the conclusion that a society that bans ads is a healthier, more robust society, and I am not alone. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43595269

Unpopular opinion: I think users should be free to choose.

> Unpopular opinion: I think users should be free to choose.

There is nothing unpopular about your opinion - silent majority definitely wants ad-subsidized free tiers (that is why they are so popular and ads are not banned anywhere in the western world), it is just that arguing with radicals on HN or reddit is exhausting and a waste of time in general.

Why would people still use ChatGPT?

It's barely free, not that reliable, not the most trustworthy, and now they are popping ads right on my face.

Either spending a good money on the best one, or using the open source models seem to be the future.

This is maybe not extremely on-topic, but when creating an account on their platform, their "Time zone" field is sorted in alphabetical order of CITY NAMES which are listed AFTER the timezone name and are not capitals, which is absolutely wild to me. If the same engineers worked on this that also worked on the ad deliveries, we're about to get either the best deal per click of the century, or the worst! Atlantic Stan…

Whole platform is probably vibrator-coded, just like Claude Code is.
