Jesus Christ, that was the biggest find for me in the last year, and the biggest blow to my online life, when it failed.
What’s the worst is that it wasn’t the cost of the subscription that ruined it. They simply couldn’t reach enough people to build a required fanbase… Damn…
I’ve seen that name pop up a few times. I should give their 100 free searches a try. The 1.5 cent / search fee seems reasonable enough.
That being said, I find it a bit of a stretch the way they try to reason their value add.
. . . Google generating USD $11 revenue per user per month. However the value you receive is well below USD $11 because your results are influenced by ads. Choosing to subscribe to Kagi means that while you are now paying for search you are getting a fair value for your money . . .
If you have macOS* (Edit: read on, their search engine is cross-platform, my bad duh), they have a browser built on top of the Safari technology (WebKit), but actually even more performant than it, with the extremely, extremely neat feature that they ported most Firefox and Chromium Extension APIs on top of that WebKit tech, meaning you get basically all of the world’s extensions available to you – even Safari ones!
Other than Orion (name of that browser), Kagi is also offering a paid search engine which I have to admit I still haven’t tried out, whoops… I should really get around to doing that, but the thing is, I use duckduckgo, my current primary search engine, only somewhat rarely…
*Supposedly also coming to other platforms sometime in the future. I’m rooting for them!! And planning to buy the Orion+ upgrade, too. They deserve it… I really hope their financing is somewhat stable and secured.
Neeva!

I’ve heard good things about Kagi, if you’re willing to risk having your heart broken again.

Kagi. This is the name I haven’t heard for long time…
So, what’s the story?
