I happily pay $10 a month for Kagi and it’s freaking great.

I’m never going back to Google.

You pay for a search engine? You have a subscription to a search engine? I’m I understanding that right?

It is a search engine right? My brain is struggling with this.

Personally i find $10 a month to be too expensive, but don’t we all pay for search engines in a way? With Google you don’t pay directly but with your information and by getting influenced in your behaviour (e.g. to buy something from someone who in return pays google for advertisement).

Is there something about search engines, as opposed to other online services, that makes you expect them to be free?

I suppose there is. At least that is the bias I hold.

This feels like google when google was new. I’ve been using the summarizer more and reading the articles I send it to understand how it works. It definitely has its use cases

I wish Kagi considers regional pricing.

It isn’t the default search engine on my browser. I’m using Kagi at the moment.

When you installed the browser and typed something other than a web address in the big white bar on the top, where did it go?
