Or my favorite quote from the article

"I am going to have a complete and total mental breakdown. I am going to be institutionalized. They are going to put me in a padded room and I am going to write... code on the walls with my own feces," it said.

Free considering duckduckgo covers almost all the same bases. I just don't think kagi has a compelling argument especially for the type of searching the average person does. Maybe if you have a career that revovles more around research.

Duckduckgo is not free. You pay for it by looking at ads. How much do you think it would cost you to run a service like Kagi locally?

Lmao i get ur point bud. But it seems you don't get mine? Plus really are ads the issue for you? Plenty of easy ways to never see them. Also their ad tradeoff for it being free is a better compromise to me than paying for a search engine.

I just think the idea of kagi is niche proposal considering the needs of most ppl from a search engine. I just don't think its the value proposition you are spouting but go off lol.

Where has anyone told you what search engine to use? I just wanna know where you get the idea that their pricing structure doesn't make sense.

Maybe if you read what i said you'll figure it out.
