Yesterday I paid for a year subscription of Kagi (@kagihq). I had been testing it for a few days and it reminds me of the olden days of Google.

Clean UI that gives me results at the top of the page.

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.

#kagi#google#search

LOL. I did a #Google #Search and that #AI Overview crap at the top, all its sources were from Quora. God help us all.

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.

We are committed to surfacing content from the Small Web in our search results, which makes Kagi uniquely different to any other search engine out there.

It is not only part of our mission to humanize the web but we genuinely feel that this improves the quality of search results and discoverability of high quality, relevant content (created by humans!)

I'm a little confused as I use #vivaldi on my laptop. I'm liking a lot of the features....except #search
1. Is Duck Duck Go a good choice? I read and don't retain reviews. Better suggestion?
2.Can I add my search engine to my start page?

it's nice to see reporting that doesn't mince words.

"Google’s featured snippet is pulling in an Amazon AI summary of Adolf Hitler’s Nazi manifesto Mein Kampf that calls it “a true work of art” in the latest AI-related fuckup affecting top search results."

Having ditched my subscriptions to NYT (long ago), WaPo and the LA Times, I'm glad to be a paid subscriber to the journalism from places like @404mediaco.
