I’ve been using this search engine and I have to say I’m absolutely in love with it.

Search results are great, Google level even. Can’t tell you how happy I am after trying multiple privacy oriented engines and always feeling underwhelmed with them.

Have you tried it? What are your thoughts on it?

    I’ve been using it as my primary for quite a while, it’s pretty awesome and the development pace is pretty good.

    I’m not really a fan of the lead guy, some of the comments he’s made on the forums are less than great, but the product is top notch.

        Some interesting moderation choices that suggest a lack of support for the LGTBQ+ community, a business partnership with Brave, and a really shitty take refusing to add help numbers for self-harm related searches.

        You can get the cliff notes of it from this post and comment to it: https://lemm.ee/comment/8016834

          I know what you are referring to with regards to the LGBTQ+ matter, but the only source is the user who reported it (with a screenshot that did not show anything), the same user who used some completely dishonest and bad faith arguments* to slander the CEO guy. I wouldn’t take that at face value and I have absolutely no problem to see, instead, a reason to moderate their comments.

          * the CEO of kagi has a website with a “best country ranking”, which is just a stupid page with 15 criterias chosen to rank which country is the greatest. The argument was that the guy must be a racist/white suprematist because the top countries for the most part were white (and wealthy. Duh). Apparently they were especially pissed about the fact that he decided to include the Olympic medals pro capite, despite the fact that it’s one of the few metrics in which first world countries were not at the top.

            It’s interesting that in your previous month-old comment you mentioned “a paraphrased and reinterpreted (in bad faith) piece of a comment” from the CEO, which confused me, because the Mastodon thread also includes the content of a comment the CEO tried to scrub.

            But you did write this gem:

            Now, since my mother tongue has the unfortunate responsibility for having coined the term “fascism”, I think I have at least an idea of what it means.

            …appeal to ethnicity is pretty funny
