I’ve been a happy Kagi customer for probably 2 years(?) now. Highlights for me, as a professional: - I can blacklist low-value domains (such as geeksforgeeks) that dominate the top of many programming searches. - I can increase/decrease the priority of domains or pin domains to the top of searches, such as official documentation for languages/libraries. - I can use “Lenses” to filter results for programming/academic/…

The big question is wtf google isn’t doing the same? Instead they keep removing features and dumbing down their product

I wish Kagi was cheaper. It's expensive in many countries and it doesn't help that we are bombarded with subscriptions everywhere.

I wish Kagi would use the money to build a search engine. But instead they use it to build a browser no one wants and an email service no one needs. Yet their search website is still broken here and there...

I do want their browser. Especially with chrome v3 going crapware route. At least there is brave.

Allowing users to re-prioritize search results directly harms their true product: ads
