Pay for the product or be the product. I like having customizable search that works and isn't filled with ads and features I don't want. Or in the case of ddg, I like being able to search news and not ending up on MSN fucking constantly (because Bing)...

With that said, there's also mojeek and searx, worth trying.

I just don't trust anything that an AI Techbro Slopper company says or does. You mentioned their privacy policy? Well anybody who ships AI is sending your information to an AI Datacenter which inevitably ends up in the hands of both advertisers and fascists.

Of course if we're comparing Kagi to other searches then they're still better, and that has value, but it's not for me.

Yeah those half suck. Anyway, I told myself I wouldn't shill but Kagi's privacy policy spells it out pretty clearly where they stand.

Could they one day turn around and start storing or selling user data? Yes. But they would face such a user backlash that it would end them. Their entire revenue is from subscriptions so without happy paying customers they're cooked.
