Before that, it was AltaVista, when they were...

I've been hearing Kagi is very good but i don't know if I'm ready to start paying for a search engine. Given the direction things are headed through, it could be worth considering

I can say that kagi is really good, yes. I don't know if google search was actually ever this good on its own, but I'm finding it a real breath of fresh air

It's a lot better value for families, too. Much like spotify. I wouldn't pay £8/m for myself, but I would pay £16 for 6 people.

I've been looking at those plans, yeah... Currently on the lowest tier for myself, and it is pricey but personally worth it, and I want to support the project

You can even share the same account with your family because your queries are not logged and won't show up in another computer

I've switched to perplexity.ai. yes it's AI, but it gives me the answer I was looking for in a short snippet of information. I can then go scour the sources if I want too. It's completely replaced Google for me.
