I also have been trying to convince people to try Kagi. It is so much better than google results, has no ads, and is very pro-privacy.
Only downside is that you have to pay for it, but honestly it’s worth it to me for how much better it is, and no ads or psychology against me is a big bonus
Ha I actually pay $25/m for unlimited searches, even though I only use like 6-800 on average with lots of dev & debugging searches. But I also pay for email with Fastmail ($50/yr) instead of a free service, so I’m probably the weird one.
I just prefer the model of paying for services entirely & being a customer of the business, instead of having my data harvested and used to manipulate me for profit (by also making the service worse). But lots of people aren’t willing to make that trade-off, which is fine too 🤷♀️
❤️ Google -> Brave search. Stock Android -> LineageOS (CalyxOS, DivestOS, GrapheneOS). Chrome😬 -> Mull (LibreWolf). Google notes -> Joplin.
Bings actually pretty good now and less bloated than Google.

You’ve already lost 99% of people’s interest, including mine. No one wants to play $5 a month for a limited number of searches
