This article reviews Kagi, a paid search engine, comparing it to Google. The author, a long-time Google user, switched to Kagi two years ago and hasn't looked back. Kagi offers a $10/month subscription for ad-free, data-private searching, with advanced features.
The author concludes that despite the cost, Kagi's superior search quality, strong privacy features, and high degree of customization make it a worthwhile alternative for those who value control over their search experience and prioritize privacy. The author views Kagi as a way to reclaim agency over their online experience amidst increasing algorithm-driven control.
