I've been liking kagi. Sucks you have to pay.

[–] MacStainless@piefed.social 4 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Kagi is worth it though. Been paying for 3-months and the ability to search, get info, click through quickly is a breath of fresh air. It's what Google USED to be. Plus it downranks pages with excessive trackers, you can prefer or omit websites from results based on personal preference, and it'll even alert you when websites have paywalled answers. The Kagi free trial is all I needed to be convinced.

Ended up subscribing. Holy shit this is a gamechanger!

Crazy how good it is, right?

Google enshittified so gradually, we never even noticed.

[–] bridgeenjoyer@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 days ago

Maybe I should just do it because it did make the web enjoyable again. Like you said, I loved Google 15 years ago! Sad its so shit now

If you aren't paying, you're the product.

What sucks is that I can't unbundle their AI shit from my subscription
