Kagi has been great for me so far. I’ve been paying for their subscription for many months, and using their Orion browser as well across my mobile & desktop devices.

They’re reminiscent of the old Internet search engines - without being full of ads, sponsored content, and all that bizarre corporate stuff that we are being fed nowadays.

Sure it may not be perfect for some, however it works for me. Their AI is quite useful too for aggregating search results, and researching on various topics (I recommend Qwen in particular).

I doubt they did - they only speak up for the fictional customer, meanwhile silently complying to whatever government requests user data from them.

They’ll say anything just to distract their users away from them being caught red handed in the act of giving away their data to the governments all around the world.

Classic business marketing.
