[HNArg024]

I almost never comment here on HN (or anywhere actually), but I feel the need to express how happy I am that I found (lost in a comment a few days ago) this service.

For the past three or so years I have tried half a dozen times to leave Google Search. Tried DDG, Brave Search and some others I can't remember now. But the "poor" quality of results had me going to Google for half of my searches, and after a while, just Google again, for convenience.

Now, I'm at 44/100 trial searches and I already know I'm going to pay for this. It's like using Google on 2008 plus without ads. It just work wonders, and I haven't even started to play with the filter to raise/lower certain domains, which I think it's a fantastic tool to have.

Great work Kagi Team!

Maybe "Like __ when it was great but paying for it" should be the new "Like Uber but for __".

I think that the problem is that a lot of vendors grossly overestimate their value - like NYTimes with their subscription. I am totally willing to pay for what they earn from me from ads and 10c on top of that monthly. But they want order of magnitude more.

Because essentially you’re paying for the free users as well.
