This is a huge thing to note. Kagi works well but if you set it as your default search engine and use the internet like a normal person that goes online a lot you’ll burn through 100 searches in like 2 days. 300 searches is $5 and unlimited is $10 iirc, though it’s less if you pay yearly. It also includes ai stuff

I just use a combo of mojeek and ecosia. Mojeek is more private. Ecosia is privacy oriented but searches are still passed to microsoft, though with most (but not all) identifiers stripped out
