Kagi is problematic since it funds Russia through yandex. Also, organic maps is completely free.
Does Kagi actually pay Yandex for searches? Grrr.
This infographic is for less-techie people (say, me...or even more, my mom). If I get rid of everything I've been told is problematic so far (Proton, Kagi, Zoho, in addition to some I actually did end up removing already), there won't be any doable solutions left for my intended audience. (My mom doesn't know or care if something is open source, or what an instance is or how to join one for a search engine, etc. But if she can get away from Google, I feel that's a step in the right direction.)
Maybe I should add an asterisk to the infographic key for anything that's problematic. Then on the links page I can describe the situation with each one, and let readers decide.
I'll fix OM!
