Hi, do you have a minute? I would like to talk about https://kagi.com as the solution to all your problems.
Google will always try to squeeze more and more ads into your life, just like Microsoft and all the other big tech shitfarms.
While Kagi uses some Google search results, they are avoiding most of the SEO crap you get in Google while also giving you the option to completely remove or prioritize whatever sites you want in the search results.
It really makes the web feel very fresh again because you discover sites you never see on Google or Bing.
Why does Kagi Search require an account? Kagi Search requires an account only because it is a paid service which requires an account for the transaction.
Note that Kagi does not collect any personal information for billing and that you can even use an anonymous payment card such as Privacy if you want to.
I'll pass …
While I agree that this post seems like a giant spammy ad, you don't have to provide anything personal to Kagi. You can pay with crypto rather than card - I paid using Monero via a swap service.
… and stick to presearch.com 🖖
…Somehow I don't trust a search engine whose front-and-center banner is for crypto trading
That'd be a mistake :)
