Pinterest was certainly the first site I blocked. I've never understood the hate for w3schools. No, it's not MDN, but it's not offensively bad either, and it's been a helpful reference from time to time. If w3schools comes up first in a search, I trust that it probably has the answer to whatever very simple question I must have asked, unlike something like Pinterest, which will just be spam no matter what.
Interesting that nytimes.com is on both the 'block' and 'raise' lists.

Pinterest is a successful product that provides value to its users (I'm not the target market and I guess most of us aren't either, but there is a segment of people that do get value out of it). I don't believe they have any malicious intent to explicitly go out of their way to ruin image search. I'm sure they don't mind the free SEO but I don't believe there is an explicit effort to mislead search engine crawlers (e…

But yes, they could fix it. However if it keeps you searching maybe they don't want to.
The single biggest deficiency of Kagi is Apple’s exclusive control over the list of selectable default search providers in iOS Safari. It is infuriating and is the one thing that has caused me to seriously try other browsers on mobile. The problem is, they are all terrible in some small paper cutting ways (including Orion, though that has been rapidly improving).
> The single biggest deficiency of Kagi is Apple’s exclusive control over the list of selectable default search providers in iOS Safari. Seems like a deficiency of Apple products to me. I know it's beating a dead horse, but this is what happens when people willingly buy into a closed system they have no control over.

One thing that I don't quite get about your family plans: why is the smaller plan ($14 for 1.5k queries) cheaper per query than the larger one ($20 for 2k queries)? Not that it's a big difference, but it feels off somehow.
This feature is Kagi's single best innovation in search. It's what makes their results so much better than Google's: where Google's results are usually drowning in garbage websites, Kagi comes built-in with a great set of spam filters, and on top of that you can adapt your own personal list of good and bad domains as you go!
I have been using this with ublock for a long time. It actually makes me wonder if that is the reason I dont have the complains about google search that I read about here https://github.com/quenhus/uBlock-Origin-dev-filter

It has probably improved a lot. It seemed like garbage a few years ago. Today it feels trustworthy and useful. I don't know what changed. I still prefer MDN. I trust it to have up to date information. It was always very good and it has also improved, including the interactive examples.

We have a discussion on our forum [1] about this. Input welcome! [1] https://kagifeedback.org/d/493-enable-anonymous-payments-ala...
Please don’t waste time on this! You’re all doing such good work and I’d much rather not see it wasted on indulging some techno-anarchist nerds

We haven't begun work on the Linux version of the browser yet. We will need to significantly expand our team before undertaking the development of a browser for a new platform.
Please make a browser for Linux too. And please make it based on Firefox preferably. Thank you. Lots of love to Kagi, though I'm not a paying user yet but I do love what you folks are doing and want to f*ck Google.
