@ctt Kagi beating Google haha. Love this bubble.

[chiraag@mastodon.online]

@fxk8y @ctt At least with that specific search, it comes up in the first 2 or 3 results unless I'm missing something:

[chiraag@mastodon.online]

@galaxis @ctt May be worth reaching out to them: https://www.mojeek.com/bot.html

[chiraag@mastodon.online]

@galaxis @ctt Wait, I found it by just searching for your name?

@chiraag

Somewhat I'm getting the same as you atm. but with a big block of ads at the top.

So…

@chiraag Huh, ok, that's a bunch of very old pages, I was looking for headlines from blog posts from the past 5 years or so...

@ctt 🪿 , but the version

@ctt I use @MetaGer.

@ctt Gibiru

[dolorosus@berlin.social]

@ctt startpage

[susannahwrites@mastodon.nz]

@cris @ctt Adding another for Startpage. Feels like Google of 5-10 years ago. There are paid links but those are transparent and no AI slop.

[viennawriter@literatur.social]

@urlyman @skylark13 @ctt You‘re very welcome.

[standev@mstdn.social]

@ctt StartPage
