Because last time I checked they just used Bing anwyay, while Kagi runs their own indexer.
Yes but why is that better. For censorship you mean?
It's better because Bing may still have selling ads as a priority when building the indexer. If you're not the one paying, you're the product.
That's a good point.
You do know it's not an either- or situation, right? You can be both.
It changes the question from "why not use duck" to "what does duck really add to bing"
@eltimablo@throws_lemy@xilliah@rastilin what it removes from bing: tracking, and personalized results. I believe it also adds the bang search, which few if any other places have.
Well they have a sensible business model and can provide another stream of income for Bing from users it otherwise wouldn't reach.
