Update: We got the duo pack. You can set it as your default search engine in Firefox on desktop and mobile. The experience is fantastic and I’m never going back. Occasionally I find myself checking the search results on Google to compare and very frequently they are filled with ads, AI generated articles or down right censored. Regarding the last one, I looked up some VPN provider’s name I didn’t know that I found on Lemmy and the results were identical except for one result missing from Google but on the second place in Kagi results: An article about that VPN company’s private keys being compromised. That is something that I would like to know as a consumer about products I search for and it looks like Google is downright being paid to remove negative press.
Kagi is great if you have the change to spare.
Probably off topic, but now I’m imagining myself shaking a cup of change at passers by.
“Spare some change to help an old man get ad-free search results?”
How much does it cost?
10 per month, 14 in a duo deal
Thanks! A bit steep but probably worth it in the end. Do you know if you can set it as the default search in Firefox?

Thank you so much for responding and I think you just sold me on it!
Not sure, I’m still trying to convince SO to get a duo.
