People keep pushing Kagi because they love it. I know, I’m one of them. Anybody acting like there’s no way out of google’s clutches is following the “we’ve tried nothing, and we’re all out of ideas” mantra.
I've tried SearXNG and stayed there. And it costs me a whole 0€ per month. 10€/month for a search engine is insane.
It's gonna stay free forever, you're totally not externalizing those costs to someone else. You can't break the laws of thermodynamics
You know what they say about when you don't pay for a service...
Do you know how SearXNG works? It literally pulls search results from whatever other SEs you define it should pull from. You just get to reap the perks of all engines, without having to deal with their antagonistic design.
Who pays for all of it in the end? The people who still want to use Google's service and feed their all-reaching tentacles. But that is their choice.
Google results are dog trash. Bing results are dog trash.
I don't lose sleep over having to add "reddit" or "forum" at the end of my search query.
