Kagi is really really great. But it's too steep for my wallet.

I'm currently deciding between using Ecosia, Brave, SearXNG, and Duck Duck Go.

Can you elaborate more on why you like Kagi? Does it get very relevant results? Eliminate blog spam? Does it make the internet seem larger than a handful of apps?

I like how you can block individual sites from search results, prioritize search results from specific websites, etc. It's quite steep, but I feel it is worth it if you can afford it and are able to justify such an expense. For disclaimer, I don't currently use it because I can't justify such an expense but I likely will in the future.

Thank you, it sounds pretty neat. I won’t have to keep typing “site:”
