@pixelcode @dwa @Tutanota @kagihq If that's the case, it would be a hard argument against Kagi.

I'm quite frankly rather puzzled, what other service to use instead because ads are no option and a pure meta search engine is suboptimal at best as well.

@dwa @Tutanota @ecosia @Qwant @kagihq @StartpageSearch @duckduckgo

Nice, but not comparable.

It doesn't have its own index and just uses other indices.

But the real bummer: 18+ only.
Kagi has a proper family plan (which essentially makes it even cheaper), so my kids can use it as well.

(And I cannot really follow your thinking that Kagi is somehow supporting Russia.)

@Tutanota @ecosia @Qwant @kagihq @StartpageSearch @duckduckgo The reason why I use Kagi is visible in the 4the row: no ads

The reason why I'd live to see the others adopt this is in the last row: it is a US service, sadly.

So, build a European equivalent and I'll switch.
