I switched from Kagi to Qwant because they’ll be collabing with Ecosia on their own index. Quality of results is, sadly, worse (uBlacklist helps somewhat), but I don’t want to support Kagi because they’re expanding their partnership with Yandex and funneling money to Kremlin.
They pay for access to yandex’s indexes to help provide their search product. Whether you consider that “funneling money to the Kremlin” or not is up to you.
Kagi seems like a circus. Search quality? It’s interesting. Worth supporting? Up to you, but know that your money will still go to actual search result providers first, and what’s left goes to people who care more about shirts than privacy.
Quality is pretty good though. Have been using it for about a year. I’d like to find a non-profit search and pay for that instead though. Ecosia comes close in some regards but I don’t see an ad-free option.
I like my Kagi t-shirt, except the sizes are deceptive. I’m a chubby fuck but I fit comfortably in a US XL tee. I ordered an XL for Kagi. This shit is like a size smaller; “form fitting” if you will. I wasn’t planning on showcasing my moobs but I guess we are doing that now.
I like the search engine though. Been using it for a bit over a year. No real complaints; maybe a bit expensive, I guess.
Ecosia sounds like a company worth supporting. I wish they’d offer a paid, ad-free plan.
How does it compare to Kagi, anyone used both?

For me, Startpage has been the goat.
Haven’t used kagi, but ecosia is another bing fronted.
It’s duckduckgo, but the profits from the ads are used to plant trees.
If you need/want something like kagi, only kagi exists at the moment. There is nothing comparable in quality and features
If you still want to throw some money at them, they have a store where you can buy some merch and plant a tree
Maybe they’ll spend it all on Tshirts, worked for Kagi.
