We are not a hivemind, I'll have you know.

And it is much better than Google Search. I don't get bombarded with ads and the results are actually relevant. Google is noticeably worse for me unless I'm searching info on local businesses.

I just use adblock.

That's not really a fair comparison, ad blockers don't help with rankings. You might not see literal ads, but Google will still serve you more SEO garbage than Kagi, which is IMO better out of the box and also allows you to uprank, downrank or block certain domains from results.
