SearxNG instances are not working as well these days and I want something more reliable. I will just pay a subscription. Swiss cows is pushing subscriptions and I’m good with paying. Never tried Kagi.
Swisscows blocks “violent and pornographic content”. I don’t know why you would use it, since it’s a pretty broad spectrum of content and we don’t know what the criteria are
You should rename thread from browser to search Engine options.
Aside from that can i ask why not something more „popular“ like startpage or DuckDuckGo?
And to answer your question: im an avid duckduckgo User and i used the kagi trial and it was actually a good experience. Still gonna Stick to ddg but it seems capbable
I personally love Kagi. Any time I have to use something else, it now feels painful.

What’s up with the leadership?

I agree but it is way too expensive for me. I use more than 10 searches per day and I’m not paying 10$ per month for search.
Just use searxng on your pc with podman and set a start up script podman start searxng now you can use it on localhost: 8080 and is better than public instances as is less blocked by ip
Another reason I need to learn reverse proxies and start self hosting stuff. Architecture is my hold up and Tailscale has SSO, with entities I want nothing to do with.
No need for reverse proxy or complex stuff, just download podman desktop and download the searxng image and you can play it it will just work
Kagi requires an account, therefore associating all your searches to your account. With DuckDuckGo HTML, you can restrict it so it can’t access JavaScript (which it doesn’t do anyways), therefore reducing the risk of fingerprinting or other tracking.
They came out with Privacy Pass a while ago for this reason: https://help.kagi.com/kagi/privacy/privacy-pass.html
Sooo, the solution is install an extension by Kagi that can read all your traffic? Still doesn’t seem all that private to me
