I like what Kagi are doing, even though I don't pay for their search engine. I've been enjoying browsing the Kagi Small Web portal recently.

What ? This isn't new. They have had this for years.
New to one in 10k, or whatever (xkcd)
I was gonna say I thought I remembered seeing that when I used kagi. Is enabling it buried in a settings menu? I don't recall
If Kagi were Free (as im Free Beer), Libre (as in Free Speech/Freedom) and Open Source, it were perfect.
But not only it's not open source, but also it's paid. I ain't using nothing that isn't FLOSS.
It's five bucks a month and has a lot of functionality.
For only 300 searches, that's 10 searches a day. I do probably 50 to 100 searches per day.
So, it's really $10 a month.
I might pay $5 a month for unlimited but I'm not sure about that. Because, you know they'll raise the price if they get successful enough. And, then it's just a constant march to more enshittification.
They offer a genuinely good product and I think it's important to support companies that sell a good product rather than their customers' info.
I paid $5 for a couple of years but eventually stopped because I kept running out of searches after a few weeks. $10 a month for a search engine is excessive but 300 searches a month is too limiting.
And they apparently contribute to Yandex.
And they use Yandex as part of their underlying search.
This is great. This was one of things that I disliked about Lemmy, as being federated makes it harder to use external search engines.
I think that might be the final thing to make me switch from DDG to Kagi.
you can also find something similar in Searxng
Yeah, and that one is FLOSS (Free [as in Free Beer], Libre (as in Free Speech/Freedom] and Open Source Software). So SearXNG >>>>> Kagi.
Others are saying its not new, but it is to me. Thank you for sharing OP!
I mean it can be a good share and also not be new
That's fucking awesome but the ranking is highly questionable.
I searched myself and a 4 upvote comment was the top thing.
Degoog has a Lemmy plugin
Kagi, who still pays money to Russia?
No, thanks!
