What do you use now? I mix Perplexity and Google depending on the query, I wondered how that compares to Kagi. Yandex is a no-no for me as well

I explored the landscape and didn't find good alternative yet. I basically fell back to Google.

One interesting initiative I discovered is that Qwant and Ecosia are teaming up to develop a new independent European search index:

Very much look forward to see this :)

Perplexity serving ads now made me cancel them

[benhurmarcel]

Do they still serve ads when you subscribe?

They do not. Also, the ads are sponsored follow-ups. Maybe someday they will be more blatant, but for now at least, they are easily ignored. I almost never use the canned follow-ups.
