Basically the title.

I'm interested in any opportunity to inprove the way I navigate the internet. What I've been for a few years now is DDG, which works fine. Not great, not amazing, just fine. And that's ok considering how they opperate.

I just heard about kagi and was really cosidering it. Makes sense as a business model (pay so we don't have to sell you data), seems privacy respecting, and claims to strive for best search results in the market. Some test searches from the trial seem promising.

If you've used it for any amount of time, what has your experience been with it? What plan are you using? What are you mostly searching for?

Even you haven't used it, any thoughts / opinions are welcome.

Yeah I might try out Mojeek. I use brave for my searches and do !s [query] to get startpage results for my images

    If you're using a desktop browser, I recommend adding search engines directly to the browser. In Firefox, this is easy because all you need to do is click the URL bar and hit "Add [Search Engine]". And then you can add keywords to them which allows you to search them directly.

    So, when I search for something on Wikipedia, rather than using a bang to go through Brave or Kagi, I just do @w query, because @w is my shortcut for Wikipedia in Firefox.

    It's especially useful for someone like me who uses a lot of different search engines, but it's also faster and takes out the middle-man. If you're using a non-iPhone non-Firefox mobile browser though, this isn't really something you can do (yet).
