    DDG, Google, bing, starypage (which uses bing / Google I believe) are all god awful and getting worse by the day.

    The only one worth a damn is kagi. And it costs money.

    I talked at the idea of paying for a search engine at first but the peace of mind that comes with not being tracked by an out of control hunter seeker dumpster fire is worth it.

      Kagi is easily the greatest search engine I’ve ever used, no exaggeration, the results are just consistently so good, I love all of its features too, like the tracker detection and details on results. I just wish it was cheaper, its really hard for me to justify paying $10 a month for a search engine. If it was cheaper, I’d buy it in a heart beat. Just been using Brave Search in combination with DDG for the time being. Brave Search’s CAPTCHAs just drive me nuts, been running into them a lot lately for some reason, that’s my biggest problem with it, especially how they require WASM to be enabled every time which is a security risk too.
