Kagi.com works without JS

Have just updated my text: "ignoring non-free" :-)

Useful list, thank you! I much prefer surfing without JavaScript. If I need to enable it for something temporarily, that’s fine. I just don’t want to leave it enabled all the time.

With Google search’s new landing page for those without JavaScript enabled, even if you enable JavaScript and reload, it just gives you the same ‘fail’ page. No matter what you do at that point Google deletes your search string and you need to retype it.

Just changed my default search to DDG and I’ll be looking into Kagi.

Also not requiring JS: SearXNG, FrogFind.
