Is it easy to disable the Quick Answer "feature"?

I couldn't find that either. But did find myself laughing at the "always check this with an adult" disclaimer on the quick answers. It's nice to imagine an alternate world where being an adult is sufficient for proper critical thinking.

> to ensure children are not exposed to harmful content.

Strong claim. I like the idea, but wish they were more realistic about what they can provide. If you ever get a Reddit result you're likely one click away from harmful content.

That said, I like the lenses applied in this case. It may be the best we can get today in terms of search filtering.

Ok this is excellent. If I can trust Kagi for kids, I would pay through the nose for this.

The internet is wildly useful but it's just filled with so much trash and thanks to google going horribly terribly south, search doesn't work anymore.

Which means kids are no longer able to actually have the joy of surfing the web and finding very interesting things to read.

So the main question that I have is, is there a guarantee that bad sites will not show up here?

What Kagi or anyone could work on, is an actually working version of YouTube Kids.

I literally Pi-Hole Blocked all of YouTube after my son started reading the Bible after a Minecraft Influencer started preaching throughout most of his videos to the point my son became a bit too much interested in the topic.

Not that I'm a rabid atheist or would deny my child such a thing, but if THAT can enter my 8yr olds brain via his short allowed time where he can browse by himself, i'm worried what else is coming his way through it.

I'd love to give him access to valuable videos between rules I describe by natural language and can test myself, but nothing like this exists.

Content for kids strikes me as something you'd curate around an experience and value system you sell to parents. I can't imagine anything else would work very well.

Granted, this doesn't mean we shouldn't try to build filters. I'm just rather pessimistic about a hands-off experience with such software.
