Basically the title.

I'm interested in any opportunity to inprove the way I navigate the internet. What I've been for a few years now is DDG, which works fine. Not great, not amazing, just fine. And that's ok considering how they opperate.

I just heard about kagi and was really cosidering it. Makes sense as a business model (pay so we don't have to sell you data), seems privacy respecting, and claims to strive for best search results in the market. Some test searches from the trial seem promising.

If you've used it for any amount of time, what has your experience been with it? What plan are you using? What are you mostly searching for?

Even you haven't used it, any thoughts / opinions are welcome.

$25 is a lot per month but it is saving me a lot of time and helping me to find better results so I find it worth it.

I justify the cost by relating it to how it helps me at work. I believe Kagi makes me more effective; my boss(es... :( ) and peers notice, and that translates to better performance evaluations and raises. I don't hide my usage of it from my team, but I don't think they realize how much of an advantage it gives me. Once you get the rankings and lenses tuned to your workflow, it's amazing how it lets you cut through the nonsense of the internet.
