First and foremost it was the slop filtering that sold me on it.
I had a friend suggesting I try it for a while and I resisted. Longtime duck duck go user for primary search.
I tried it using their free trial/free tier for a little while. I liked what I saw so I went month to month on what I think is their pro plan.
I do not use their ai assistant at all, I went in a disabled that some can’t be of help there.
I use their privacy pass now in all my desktop environments: https://blog.kagi.com/kagi-privacy-pass
I’ve found the results more than good enough - excellent even with all the slop removed.
I use search so much, everyday, I feel like the clean results pay for themselves in time saved in just one day but I was frustrated and annoyed with both slop and the increasing insidious practices of the big ~~search~~ ad-engines.
Hope that helps.
