Huge supporter of Kagi!
I've been using Kagi search and would say it really cuts out a lot of the junk that Google tends to promote.I was using Mojeek and Brave before, but Mojeek never seemed to provide what I wanted, and Brave requires a lot of keywords just to get close to what I'm looking for.
One more thing! Paying for search feels amazing it makes the results feel more relevant and meaningful to you. I'm excited to see how Kagi evolves.
Hmm, is Kagi really that good? I tried it once and wasn't too happy with the results I was getting. I think I liked Google's results better. But maybe it's because i've gotten better at prompt-engineering Google's search bar.

Haha! Maybe this can be the case. But lot of people have told it's hard to ditch google, I'm trying alternatives for years like Gibiru, startpage, Mojeek, Brave so, it's fine for me.

One of my colleagues swears by Kagi. At the same time, he despises Google with a passion, so he might be biased.

Also, in Korea Naver is used more than Google.Naver has approximately 80% market share? But I've found it's only made for Koreans as English results are worst. But I like the blogs people write, knowledge encyclopedia, and current affairs.
So if you want better english results it's better to use Google, Kagi, Brave etc.

You read Korean?
Yeah, Naver has the biggest market share.
There is a Korean alternative to every mainstream US app. US apps don't do very good here, usually.

I've personally seen this too! Naver already has its own alternatives like Maps, payment, translate service, email, blog, encyclopedia, AI, News and list goes on..

Curious as to why you'd bother reading Korean-sourced news unless you live in Korea...
