Ecosia sounds like a company worth supporting. I wish they'd offer a paid, ad-free plan.

How does it compare to Kagi, anyone used both?

Kagi seems like a circus. Search quality? It's interesting. Worth supporting? Up to you, but know that your money will still go to actual search result providers first, and what's left goes to people who care more about shirts than privacy.

Quality is pretty good though. Have been using it for about a year. I'd like to find a non-profit search and pay for that instead though. Ecosia comes close in some regards but I don't see an ad-free option.

For me, Startpage has been the goat.

Maybe they'll spend it all on Tshirts, worked for Kagi.

I like my Kagi t-shirt, except the sizes are deceptive. I'm a chubby fuck but I fit comfortably in a US XL tee. I ordered an XL for Kagi. This shit is like a size smaller; "form fitting" if you will. I wasn't planning on showcasing my moobs but I guess we are doing that now.

I like the search engine though. Been using it for a bit over a year. No real complaints; maybe a bit expensive, I guess.

Haven't used kagi, but ecosia is another bing fronted.

It's duckduckgo, but the profits from the ads are used to plant trees.

If you need/want something like kagi, only kagi exists at the moment. There is nothing comparable in quality and features

If you still want to throw some money at them, they have a store where you can buy some merch and plant a tree
