UH OH!

Pretty much https://kagi.com/ but outrageous

Isn’t their pricing per month not per query?

$5 for 300 queries. $10 unlimited.

They only changed that about a week ago, it used to be $10/1000 queries. Not that I’m complaining - I’m on that tier!

The cheapest plan also has query limits.

How is it outrageous to pay for a product? There are obvious reasons and benefits. Go use a free one then. No need to bash a good product because you don’t want it.

I never said Kagi is, I said Google would be if they applied the pricing model.

Kagi is like google was 10 years ago though, useable and useful, while Google has morphed an SEO trashcan. I wouldn’t pay them any amount for current quality

I’m down for the concept, but the pricing on Kagi is also pretty steep. $5/month for 300 searches? $10 unlimited. I have no doubt there are serious costs involved in providing search, but for a layman like me it feels way more than it should be. Does google even make $120/user/year on search, or even $60?

Anywho, I’d give it a go if it were cheaper, else, I’d rather be lightly advertised to on DuckDuckGo

Eventually I will use the trial of it. I don’t feel like I actually do that many searches, and most are me looking up Pokemons while I play the games. So 300 searches per month doesn’t actually sound too bad, I can do my least important searches like my game ones on DDG.

Or DuckDuckGo, ecosia, bing, askjeeves, nexislexis, Qwant, altavista…

altavista

wow, I had no idea it still existed! I don’t think I’ve used it since it was altavista.digital.com

edit: it doesn’t, it’s just yahoo search now

I thought the same about askjeeves, can’t believe it made it this long

DuckDuckGo is Bing under the hood.

I use its app and search service and it consistently outputs better and faster than google.

Although I don’t use it personally I used google for a very short time in a professional setting, with high speed internet access, and the results and speed of delivery was trash when compared.

In another thread, a lemming mentioned they have improved on the privacy provided, after renegotiating with Microsoft.

DuckDuckGo is not really much better. And it uses Bing as a backend. Gone are the days of reliable search engines.

DuckDuckGo is just Bing.

Everyone here is saying this. Using Bing as an engine while maintaining peivacy doesn’t seem as much of a problem to me. Can you explain why pointing out that bing being under the hood is seen as a negative?

I assume because Bing gives the exact same spam results as Google. All of the seatch engines kinda suck nowadays.

DDG is a search engine without its own search engine.

ever try the duckduckgo app? I didn’t realize it existed until now.

II’m usually on firefox with adblocker, and just use duck as my default search, so the app seems unnecessary. willing to try it out tho

Yeah, it’s just a private browser. I use it along with Firefox.

I’d pay for google if they didn’t steal my data.

Because, why would anyone pay money to Google for Kagi? Duh!

Edit edit: y’all are just oh my goodness! le heckin internets for everyone!!

For whatever reason, mentioning Kagi brings downvotes.

I very specifically made a deal with the devil to trade my data for data on a vast array of subjects. That’s one of the sacred covenants of the internet. Don’t break the covenant, Google!

Yeah that’s the dillema with many freemium services. I would pay for them if it didn’t instantly deanonymize me.

Fucking do it, I dare you.
