Default search status doesn’t come cheap, but it’s worth it to Google.

    I happily pay $10 a month for Kagi and it’s freaking great.

    I’m never going back to Google.

      You pay for a search engine? You have a subscription to a search engine? I’m I understanding that right?

      It is a search engine right? My brain is struggling with this.

        Is there something about search engines, as opposed to other online services, that makes you expect them to be free?

          I suppose there is. At least that is the bias I hold.

        Personally i find $10 a month to be too expensive, but don’t we all pay for search engines in a way? With Google you don’t pay directly but with your information and by getting influenced in your behaviour (e.g. to buy something from someone who in return pays google for advertisement).

      This feels like google when google was new. I’ve been using the summarizer more and reading the articles I send it to understand how it works. It definitely has its use cases

      I wish Kagi considers regional pricing.
