I was trying Kagi but I'm put off it now that they're partnering with Brendan Eich. I don't think I'd use Brave search, for the same reason.

@dan I see, what's the problam with Brendan Eich, is he the former Firefox CEO?

[–] dan@upvote.au 1 points 7 months ago

He was only CEO for 11 days and was essentially forced out due to homophobic comments and funding proposals for banning gay marriage. He also spread misinformation about COVID-19. There's a thread in Kagi's forum about it here: https://kagifeedback.org/d/2808-reconsider-your-partnership-with-brave/16 and a Mastodon post here: https://chaos.social/@scy/111704636274463611
