Personally, I have been moving the opposite way. There are so many bullshit websites, wading through them is a pain. Instead, I directly jump to Wikipedia
Same! I have Wikipedia pinned as the first search result on Kagi if there's an entry
I was thinking of sharing a kagi duo plan with my dad, is it worth it? I currently use ecosia
I have been using it for about a year. There is zero advertisement anywhere. No sponsored posts. Just pure search. And they give you quite some good tools to derank or delist websites for you to define your own quality of search results, it's very effective. They also go the extra mile of de-ranking websites with many trackers as that apparently correlates with SEO which normally doesn't track with result quality. It's a very refreshing take on the web. I love it :)
Edit: they also have an extension which allows you to search while being logged out using tokens which improves privacy, in case you want to go the extra mile.
I think so! I'm pretty sure they still give you 100 free searches to try it out, might be worth test driving before you pay for it. From what I understand it's mostly Google on the back end with Kagi's own algorithm. My favorite part about it is being able to rank how the results sort themselves based on sites you want to see more or less of, and some other pretty powerful filters. I definitely think it's worth a shot if you're curious.
I have moved the opposite way. I am noticing so much propaganda on Wikipedia that I would rather avoid it.
For example, this page, which is clearly written by Zionist bots, but somehow has edit protection.
