I continue to be one of the happiest customers for Kagi, a service that I am so happy to pay (for my family as well).
To be clear, there are some widgets that might be useful in some cases, but it should not be all you see (and it should definitely not include similar stuff as if the focus for any search is just to find more stuff to consume and please advertisers...).
I use kagi as well and love it. Worth every dime.
People that say they can't see themselves paying for Search underestimate the value of clean high quality search results.
I'm a business owner and developer of firmware for esoteric products. I need high quality, powerful searches that don't waste my time. Kagi is great for that. I created lenses on Kagi that I can use to focus my searches, a great time saver for me.
100% agree. I've been using Kagi for a bit over a month now and I love it. My one and only complaint is business hours can be harder to find - I have to actually click into their website for it. That's it though! Everything else is dramatically less painful in my opinion. I don't need business hours frequently enough for it to matter though, and if needed I can use Google for that one thing.
Kagi has been a breath of fresh air
Completely agree, I started seeing business hours popping up lately, I know that they know it's an area of improvement.
It's a premium service but it has very nice features and is a good product overall.
Kagi's ceo statements makes me hate it
I am not a fan of some of his ideas either, especially the ones tending towards libertarianism. Some other ideas instead are quite decent, like how he thinks companies should give back to the community. He also built a tech company without VC funding and with a good share of ownership for workers (which I think is nice), without any marketing (which I despise as industry) and generally without the predatory nature that 98% of tech companies have nowadays.
I am sure you are referring to the Brave debacle of months back, and FWIW, I agree with his position on that particular issue. Anyway, considering that I have no ideas about the positions for the CEOs/founders of the alternatives, I think it's still a very worthy compromise to have a good product (incl. nonfunctional qualities like privacy, ecological impact etc.).
Getting 670k from a few private investors aint vc?
I havent heard about the brave debacle but some other comments ive seen make me really not trust this ceo
No, 670k from 42 investors means less than 20k of investment per investor. 670k is already a number ridiculously small for VC funding, but 20k is basically nothing.
Also, after just a few years, 37 employees and 30k users the company became profitable, which is an insanely low period/scale for usual VC funded tech companies.
