   Am thinking of going full nerd with Kagi. Am so sick of Google's ad riddled search results, I swear...

   Do you use #Kagi?

     @badri I may use your strategy. I am really drawn to the idea of finding smaller sites!

     @liztai I use Kagi! Still on the free trial though, and I've been using it minimally, not for mindless searches, so as to extend that 😅
     
     I don't like their whole "AI everything" approach, but my motivations for using it are more hedonistic than ideological. I always get useful results, but more importantly, there is the pure pleasure of being able to crystal-ball down any spammy results that come up 👎 🔮 💃

     @aulia @atomicpoet TBH I don't find their search results good - at least for my purposes, but at least they do highlight lesser known websites.

     @liztai I use Duck Duck Go. This is the first I’ve ever heard of Kagi.

     @atomicpoet @liztai the only Kagi I know is this chocolate wafer

     I also use DDG for search. It’s the default on all my devices.

     @liztai I tried it out before and liked it, killer feature is being able to push websites you trust further up search results and websites you don’t like further down. But I’ve too much subscriptions at the moment already so sticking with Google for now.
