Kagi gets external funding!
Kagi ( https://kagi.com ) has successfully raised $670K in a SAFE note investment round, marking our first external fundraise to date.
I really love seeing this search engine grow and grow. It's just a fantastic search experience, much like Google in the early days before it became shit.
Everyone should at least try to set Kagi as default search for a while, to get back your private web searches and not help Google grow by selling your data to advertisers.
Honestly I'd love to try kagi but it's so hard to de-googleify your life when you use Gmail and use an Android phone. Like, I'd like to, but it feels like such a pipe dream if I want to use tech I've grown accustomed to.
Especially bc kagi expects a subscription (it should, searching isn't cheap and I like not being the product) but when money is tight it's hard to justify paying for searching when Google and co are right there
Came here because I just discovered Kagi. On the topic of de-googling, the effort is a fair point. Like the other poster said: Start small. A few months ago I moved away from Google Mail, Contacts and Calendar. After detailed research and trialing, I made the move - the practical part of it took actually surprisingly little time. I'm using Fastmail now, so at least that part Google now has only very limited access to. Might be doing the same with Kagi for search.
Edit: Look like sync won't let me reply to the right comment.
