For a family of 4, maybe, maybe not. I'd argue still yes, though. It needs to get bought by Apple or at least white labeled by Apple to make free as part of Apple One for families.
Agreed. It seems most comments in here find the quality noticeably better than G or DDG (I know I do.)
Given that, I suppose I could empathize with a hypothetical user who cares about search quality but finds $7 lattes prohibitively expensive. For the rest of us price as a counter argument just seems silly.
If they can white label CloudFlare as part of their iPrivacy for everyone with iCloud+, they could white label kagi as well.
The catch, of course, is the $15B (billion with a B) annual payment from Google to stay the default.
That's (a) not insignificant even to Apple bottom line, (b) tells you a little something about the value to Google of even the nearly last place marketshare of searches using Safari.
