  • Made me feel a little unwell at the beginning as well, but considering that the search is one of the main, key features o use daily, multiple times it is totally worth it.

    I pay for a search engine, but:

    • High quality search results
    • No ads
    • High customizability
    • No weird SEO optimized Website results which help me not at all and I lose hours in a year clicking them by accident
    • Did I mention no ads or sponsored content?

  • Kagi, hands down, is by far the best search engine I’ve ever used (next to Neeva, which got bought and shut down).

    Just simple searches like “Best gaming headphones” or “Realtek Driver Download” and comparing them with Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, Brave, Startpage, etc. shows how the quality of the results are far superior.

    And you can directly define, which sites you’d like to see higher / more results of or less - or even completely block or pin them to the top.

    Also, it also shows you directly, before visiting a site, in colors if a site has a very high number of ads and/or trackers.

    And they support for power users custom CSS to adjust everything, URL rewrites (e.g. change all Reddit URLs to old.reddit), DDG and custom bangs, and much more.

    Very satisfied with it, can only recommend.








  • This is a critical feature missing. Especially considering when one instance goes down, so does your account.

    If announced, we should be able to easily transfer the account.

    But an instance might also go down unannounced (especially now with so many hosting instances just for fun or to experiment with it).

    While in such a case your posts and comments on this local instance will be gone, there needs to be a way to recover your account on another instance with all your posts and comments made on other instances still connected to your account, being editable or deletable.
