Been using SearXNG for about a year now, and I just can’t deal with instances constantly getting blocked by search engines anymore. So I’d like to find something a bit more reliable. I’ve read that DuckDuckGo has had some controversies in the past, and I wouldn’t touch Brave with a 39 and a half foot pole.

Kagi is the best search engine on the web right now.
They charge for it because they need to get money some other way then selling your data. But it’s well worth it.
We have to stop expecting things to be free. They can’t be free if you want privacy and quality and no ads.
kagi is great, ddg is also improving
I’ve seen it mentioned and you’re quite right about expecting to get quality, privacy, and free. It’s always a pick two.
But can you explain why Kagi is so good?
Also a Kagi user here. First thing you’ll notice compared to other search engines is no ads at the top.
Comparing between multiple search engines, Kagi consistently delivers relevant results for world wide content, but also for more local searches.
You can further refine your search by up/down ranking sites for yourself or even create customized lenses that search specific (types of) sites if you know where you might find the answer. There are multiple predefined lenses, for example searching only .edu domains, forums or programming language websites.
I could but you should just try it and see what you think. You can search 100 times for free to check it out.
If you find what you are looking for and even getting new good results you never saw on Google, that’s a very good rating. :)
