Enough is enough—I dumped Google’s worsening search for Kagi

I like how the search engine is the product instead of <em>me</em>.

Kagi is great and I use it but the problem for 99% of people is that Google is just good enough as a free product.

They think that ignoring a few ads/AI nonsense (Google AI summaries are awful) is worth it compared to shelling out for a paid product that is only marginally better all things considered.

I wish Kagi the very best but we probably need an ad supported free search alternative for mass adoption.

Yeah, and just to add on to this, the fact that most people use google will lead to the de-emphasis of original sources, leading people to not produce those sources in the first place. I doubt kagi can remedy that situation by itself.
