Customer for over a year now and I don’t love this, but I feel like Kagi sits at the intersection of private enough and high performing enough. I tried a lot of the other suggestions for engines before switching and Kagi gave the best results from my testing.

    Have you tried Qwant? I started using it last spring and I've had no problems so far.

    I tried it just now and compared the same search terms on Kagi and Qwant.

    Kagi gave me what I was looking for as the top result (technical documentation)

    Qwant gave me an ad as the top result and an AI summary as the next result. Only after both of those did I get the result I wanted (below the fold).

    I’d rather just pay for a search engine that I don’t have to install additional stuff to fix.
