I wish Kagi was not American. I was pretty happy with it until America became a thread

    Me too. Kagi is the best of them all, including Google.

    The only downside? It's an American company.

    Another downside is that is costs $5 a month to useโ€ฆ

    I'm okay with forsaking one avocado toast a month for a search engine that actually works, but if I don't feel good about where my money goes then I'm signficantly less willing.

    I like spending money on the things I use. The status of paying customer is an enviable position (minus the paying part).

    How terrible that you have to pay for a product you use

    No one wanting to pay for anything is what got us into this mess in the first place

    I was thinking about the aspect of privacy. Not only do you need a user, you also have to give them your payment details.

    And donโ€™t get me started on their โ€œ300 searches a monthโ€-bullshit. If I pay for 300 searches, I want my 300 searches. Regardless of how long it takes me to use it.

    Kagi has established Privacy Pass which perfectly meets the need of balancing paid search with privacy. If you have a better fix I'm sure they'd love to hear about it on their feedback forum.

    As a someone who averages >1000 searches/month, I burned through the 300/month tier pretty quickly. They're kind enough to credit you if you don't use their service in a given month, which is already uncommon in the subscription business model.
