That used to be Google, when they were interested in providing quality results and showing ads alongside those results, instead of just.. being an ad company.
Before that, it was Yahoo, when they were interested in providing quality results, and showing ads, instead of just being an ad company.
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
Time to bring back web rings lmao
We've come, uh, full circle indeed
Kagi basically did with Smallweb
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.
