What's the deal with this whole kagi circlejerk aroumnd here

[-] snowe@programming.dev 1 points 9 months ago

you should try using it. Seriously. I thought the same as you, "why are all these people plugging kagi so hard". Well, I literally started using it 3 months ago and I've only used Google search 3 times since then and not a single one of those times did Google succeed at the search I needed either. Google was so fucking bad that I essentially was forced to make a change, and I'd tried DDG like 2 years ago and hated it, I tried Bing and hated it.

I fucking love not being tracked, not worrying about being the product. I can search what I want without fear of being watched. It's fantastic. And it's fucking better than Google. God, google has gotten so bad I literally had trouble doing my job some days. No more of that bullshit.

I've been using SearXNG locally to query many free engines at no cost to me.

SearXNG

that's awesome. Is the quality good? I'm really loving Kagi, but I love OSS stuff so might consider this. Maintenance is also an issue. I'm tired of maintaining things. I've got my own unraid server, pihole, etc and I'm not in the mood for adding more stuff.
