I'm just happy if I can do some basic W|A without it being so slow. Things like dates or solving simple equations with unit conversion work great but is so slow on W|A. The actual wolfram language is fast, I just find their website feels slow (it's probably only 30 seconds)

You can use the session link [0] in incognito so you don't have to login each time. [0] https://kagi.com/settings?p=user_details

On mobile incognito you'd need to access that session link and go from there. You cannot just use the address/search bar, as mobile browsers like Chrome do not include a config to put the link.

Mobile Firefox allows it.

On iOS Safari it works with the Kagi extension.

This is pretty damn cool. It might finally push me over the edge to give the subscription a go.

Just do it. Kagi has been my favorite $10/mo spent before this collab already.

I pay for it for my entire company. Life's too short to make people click through to page 9 of Google to get past the ads, the spam, the malware, the made up AI bullshit etc.

How do new search engines like Perplexity and Kagi avoid getting rate limited or hitting captchas as they build and maintain their indexes?

Sites have to make exceptions for Google, but likely wouldn’t care enough to allow other search engines in.

I’ve spent money on things because I had to, I’ve spent money because I wanted to. I have rarely spent money on something because the idea just sounded good and been so consistently pleased with what I received for my investment. It’s not free, but Kagi is a small investment for a vastly improved (and customizable) search experience.

Pity it can't subtract time. > 16:28 - 14:50 = 22 hours and 22 minutes although, Google never could not too.

In WolframAlpha (no Kago subscription, but I assume it works just the same), to achieve your desired result, you merely have to use:

> 14:50 - 16:28

Or

> 14:50 to 16:28

It makes sense when you think of it.

I’ve been using this for years, and it works wonders for datetimes too.
