Been paying for Kagi, i’m enjoying it
Kagi is really good, particularly with Kagi assistant. Worth the money
Ecosia all the way, search plus the right mission
Also building an independent search index together with Qwant - already serving the French and German users. In their way to to drop Google and Bing
Honestly, Kagi is crushing it. Their search results are so quality that family members of mine have agreed it is better than google. I never thought I’d pay for search but now am honestly glad I do.
Abandon search engines, normalize asking your cousins your questions again
This is how everyone learned games like The Floor is Lava
Library help desk
complicated for usa people though
Mojeek ?
🖐🏻I using Mojeek.
Me too, via MetaGer, which lets me combine Mojeek and Brave search results.
Hello. That connection thing is cool. So I have no experience with meta-search engines. I gave up on Brave after I learned that it’s hosted on AWS. My only search engine is Mojeek because it’s not hosted on big tech like, Azure AWS, or Google Cloud.
Unless something has changed, that chart is incorrect. I stopped using startpage earlier this year when they announced the inclusion of ai.
Every single search provider mentioned includes AI as an option. Fortunately, they all gave an option to just turn it off. It’s annoying, but if they find that users want these AI summaries, they need to add them as an option to compete.
tuta seem to have missed the mark then, incorrect details and not including noai.duckduckgo
turning ai off is a valid (and welcome) choice, but most people don’t look at settings, the default is often ai on, and updates can also change them.
in Firefox browsers and its forks:
but then in a different part of settings:
the ai setting there was defaulted to on, even with ai supposedly completely turned off in the main ai section
So I would rather use a search engine (and browser) with the default that ai is trash.
Do users actually want such AI summaries? Is there any good polling on this?
I mostly read about people being annoyed by companies pushing hard for AI, and trying to get rid of those unrequested summaries.
I wish more of them just had an option to highlight excerpts from pages or Wikipedia articles like google used to do exclusively. But I’m sure that harder to build :/
I think Google got tired of having to defend itself from lawsuits about Google copying and displaying the contents of web sites and not sending people to these web sites.

Brave search was surprisingly good, like google when it wasn’t shit.
I could never trust Brave. You can’t be a search or browser company and also run an ad network. It’s a conflict of interest.
I’ve been using Qwant and it’s really good, I think it’s better than DDG, at least for results in Italian
I’ve used DDG for years and really like it. I like it even more now that I’ve been using #emacs more because they have a text-based, or at least non-js, search page that works well in eww.
Also appreciate the Lite/HTML approach of ddg for quick searches on the phone. Much faster and lean.
Qwant used to have one too but it’s been scrapped somehow
What do you use to replace the Google’s Image search?
That is the area that I found more challenge.
Tineye, lenso.ai, picfinder? I’ve heard maybe Bing is better than Google now, but I don’t know.
I sometimes use that Marginalia search.
