you should try using it. Seriously. I thought the same as you, "why are all these people plugging kagi so hard". Well, I literally started using it 3 months ago and I've only used Google search 3 times since then and not a single one of those times did Google succeed at the search I needed either. Google was so fucking bad that I essentially was forced to make a change, and I'd tried DDG like 2 years ago and hated it, I tried Bing and hated it.

I fucking love not being tracked, not worrying about being the product. I can search what I want without fear of being watched. It's fantastic. And it's fucking better than Google. God, google has gotten so bad I literally had trouble doing my job some days. No more of that bullshit.
