Our goal is to provide best web results in the world. That means including as many sources of search results. By including results from Brave API, we add more results to our pool, and we put users ahead of money because this costs us additional money to provide. We do it anyway as we believe that Kagi users deserve to have the best search results in the world, from a wide range of diverse sources. This ensures that if you can not find something on Kagi, you can not find it anywhere else. We evaluate APIs only on the basis of merit in the context of providing superior search engine results. Considering company x founder political views is not a factor in this evaluation. Politics finding its way into tech is one of the reason we do not have innovation any more. We are primarly in the business of search and we'd like to stay focused on that.
