minus-squareJoanie Parker@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8arrow-down8·6 months agoHave you tried Kagi?
minus-squareᴅᴜᴋᴇᴛʜᴏʀɪᴏɴ@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5arrow-down3·6 months agoWhy would they? Bing is free.
minus-squareJoanie Parker@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6arrow-down5·6 months agoSure it is. So are the sponsored results. Something you don’t get on Kagi.

minus-squareripcord@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3arrow-down3·6 months agoIt uses a whole bunch of potential sources. It is not a front-end for Bing like, say, DuckDuckGo.
minus-squarez3rOR0ne@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8arrow-down1·6 months agoIf that’s the case, why not use searx? I could only see myself using a paid search engine if It demonstrably returned results relevant to my search more accurately than their competitors It was well documented that they respected my privacy and how It showed me no advertisements It doesn’t utilize SEO marketing tactics to adjust its search results It supported !bangs for very fast searching of specific websites and/or other search engines
minus-squareripcord@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·6 months agoI don’t know about #2, but the other 4 are true. #1 may be somewhat subjective but in my experience it is certainly true.
minus-squareTacticsConsort@yiffit.netlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3arrow-down1·6 months agoWhat about Firefox? Can’t say that I’ve ever heard of Kagi myself, what makes it so special?
minus-squareBigFatNips@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up14arrow-down5·6 months agoWell I guess the main difference would be that Firefox is a web browser not a search engine lmao. Fuck kagi though, CEO/owner is an antisocial lunatic
minus-squareHildegarde@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·6 months agoThat describes most CEOs. Most are smart enough to hide it.
minus-squareJoanie Parker@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8arrow-down6·6 months agoWhat’s wrong with being antisocial?
minus-squareBigFatNips@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up12arrow-down3·6 months agoClinically antisocial, not introverted. Nothing wrong with it necessarily, but it can lead to some negative outcomes for sure.
minus-squareJoanie Parker@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5arrow-down6·6 months agoYeah, I’m fine with it.
minus-squareBigFatNips@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7arrow-down2·6 months agoI won’t kinkshame you lol but the negatives almost certainly outweigh the positives for humanity at large.
