steve mookie kong<p>Yesterday I paid for a year subscription of Kagi (<span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@kagihq" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>kagihq</span></a></span>). I had been testing it for a few days and it reminds me of the olden days of Google. </p><p>Clean UI that gives me results at the top of the page.</p><p>Google has gone overboard with the ads and sponsored results cluttering the interface. Not to mention the AI overview at the top of each search.</p><p><a href="https://chow.fan/tags/kagi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>kagi</span></a> <a href="https://chow.fan/tags/google" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>google</span></a> <a href="https://chow.fan/tags/search" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>search</span></a> <a href="https://chow.fan/tags/privacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>privacy</span></a></p>

God help us all. </p><p>Quora is informative, but not trustworthy. It's not trustworthy because there is no fact checking the answers and no credential checking on those answering the questions. Answers can also reflect personal opinions and biases, which may not always align with objective facts or widely accepted knowledge.</p>
