Basically the title. There are other privacy focused+free search engines, such as duckduckgo, startpage and brave search. What makes Kagi worth the $10/month?

    I used to but people behind are bastards so I don’t give money to them anymore.

    It made me think of how I use search engines and most of the time I go on the same websites so I try to avoid search engines.

    I use Mojeek with their focus feature (it is like lenses of Kagi). If I really need a search engine I use Mojeek with no focus, but most of the time the results are not good enough so I give them a feedback and go back on Duckduckgo.

    I’m happy with SearXNG. At the time I had issues with each search engine, and this meta search engine is great for me.

    You can run one locally on your device, or connect it to a domain like I did, so I use it everywhere: seek[.]agurav[.]xyz You’re welcome to try mine, or use it daily. it’ll blend my own activity a bit so it’s good for me. For u, you’ll have to trust my word that I don’t sell your data or something. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

    Ultimately, give it a try, and then host your own or use a public instance that you trust.
