I just don't understand how they can think that not giving me a single free search per month is a good idea. I used Kagi when they still had a free plan and it was fine but I still preferred Google. Now I can't even try it again to see if it has additional value.
Do you think the potential upside is worth the $5 it would take to explore?

It's also nice for everyone. Like, very readable, pleasant, way better than the trendy modern designs.
I love accessibility, I just want to preface what I’m about to say with that. I found this site hard to read. I’m reading on my phone btw. The text is too big for me and the line height (space between lines really) isn’t right, it’s too spaced out. Can I read it? Absolutely, I just can’t read it as fast as I normally would.

I don't need a trial reset, I never used mine yet. I want to compare searches between Kagi and Google every few months to see if it got better. I used to recommend Kagi to people but when it's completely behind a paywall it's not easily recommendable anymore.

But again on principle, can you use google search in the library without an account? Yes. Can you use kagi in the library without an account? No. So whenever and whatever you do, your queries are logged and tracked back to you, onl…
Google still lets you do some things without logging in but that doesn’t mean that they don’t build profiles or try to link them with other activity sources. Most of their revenue comes from advertisers paying for targeting.

#48Kagi was the best service provider change I've made in years and if anybody cares for an anonymous HN endorsement, they have mine.

When you recommend a restaurant to a friend, do you expect that restaurant to offer your friend a free meal to see if they like it?

#50I love when people make personal websites (seemingly) purely for themselves. The design of this website really reflects the perspective of the author in a way that was immediately apparent. I've never seen a website with a menu that large.
