Hi, do you have a minute? I would like to talk about https://kagi.com as the solution to all your problems.

Google will always try to squeeze more and more ads into your life, just like Microsoft and all the other big tech shitfarms.

While Kagi uses some Google search results, they are avoiding most of the SEO crap you get in Google while also giving you the option to completely remove or prioritize whatever sites you want in the search results.

It really makes the web feel very fresh again because you discover sites you never see on Google or Bing.

I won't lie, I was really dubious on the idea of paying for search, but after the demo I really came around and signed up for the year. Kagi results are far and away better than anything else on 90% of my queries. The only thing I miss is, when you use google in your searchbar, you can use it as a calculator. E.g. if I type "13 * 42", the top suggestion is "= 546", you don't even have to press enter.. So I got really used to using that as my default calculator. But Kagi just blanks you, so I've had to start keeping a desktop calculator open all the time lol

They can probably fix that, they are very open to suggestions, unlike Google. Mail them about it :)
