Ok this is excellent. If I can trust Kagi for kids, I would pay through the nose for this.

The internet is wildly useful but it's just filled with so much trash and thanks to google going horribly terribly south, search doesn't work anymore.

Which means kids are no longer able to actually have the joy of surfing the web and finding very interesting things to read.

So the main question that I have is, is there a guarantee that bad sites will not show up here?

Given that everyone has different definitions of "bad" and that someone malicious can put bad stuff on "good" sites, no.

Kagi allowing you to assign what is good and bad makes your argument void.

You shouldn't rely on the company alone. While it may be what Kagi is aiming for but they can only do so much.

If you're concerned for your kids you too should always double check if the content is good/bad regularly.

Not sure why my argument is void, but you restating my exact point with different words is valid?

Are you expecting a company to manage it completely without human intervention, yourself without verifying the results?

If so, you then got to expect what Kagi decides what is bad and what is good and accept that's it.

It could be bias it could be not. I like to think they know but I personally would never put all my eggs in one basket.

What?

Parent commenter asked if it was guaranteed to block the bad stuff. I answered no. That's the entire conversation summarized.

Then you came in, said I was wrong, and then answered the question with "no", just like I did.

I didn't say anything about my expectations, or what I would do, or how I do it.

Maybe I am misunderstanding? What is the bad stuff, you want blocked?

OP comment comes off as "I want Kagi to do it for me and to be how I want it" when Kagi doesn't know what you want blocked. How can it? If Kagi is to support blocking why wouldn't they?

I am saying what Kagi wants to block may not be the bad stuff you want blocked and so you should then verify the content of what is blocked.
