I just received a Kagi invite from a friend.
It's absolutely great
Let's hope they don't look too closely at how family plans are shared for now.
10€ + taxes a month is just too steep for me

Use Mojeek
What's mojeek?
Mojeek is the only search engine that's truly and absolutely free from the clutches of Big Tech.
The links are indexed from a crawler entirely built from the ground up, making it an alternative in the true sense.
Results are ranked based on input keywords alone.
No shady algorithmic manipulation.
No advertisements.
Also includes features like dark mode, location masking.
I've been using it for months. It's an absolute delight!
Why have I never heard of this before?

Maybe because the person that ran yahoo search into the ground is now responsible for Google search.
You found the marble in the oatmeal!!
Do I get to drink from the firehose?
We’re all drinking from the firehose right now
Bingo. We have a winner
I’ve started getting those AI responses from Google now and I honestly skip right past them.
I fundamentally don’t trust the information so what’s the point of even reading it?
Most of this AI stuff is trash. I think Google AI has maybe once given me a useful answer. Amazon has this thing called Rufus that just slows down the process of searching customer reviews. Just like Google, it's maybe once or twice given me useful information and none of it worth the wait that it takes for the search results to come up.
But we are pouring billions into it and increasing our data center power usage by 10x because It's The Future ..

Have you considered not using Google?
Yes, but in my experience other search engines still give slightly worse results.
Kagi seemed good, but don’t wanna pay for it. Or at least not as much as they’re charging.
I've been using Brave Search in the past few months and i can't notice any difference in quality from Google in regular search.
The only difference I can't notice is the quality in image searches.
I like Ecosia, but we can agree to disagree.
