Why I Pay for Kagi, the Ad-Free Google Search Alternative
Briefly

As users grow increasingly frustrated with Google's ad-driven model, Kagi emerges as a compelling paid search engine. Developed by the Orion browser team, Kagi provides a range of subscription options, with an enticing promise of an ad- and tracker-free experience. With a focus on user satisfaction, Kagi incentivizes better service through its paid model. Users can appreciate features like optional AI assistance and the ability to block unwanted AI-generated content, making it a favorable choice for those seeking an alternative to traditional search engines.
Since Google makes money through advertising, its primary incentive is to boost revenue by showing you better ads, resulting in a noticeable decline in the quality of my search results.
Kagi has lots of useful features (and no ads) that make it worth the price to me.
The search engine has kept AI opt-in, which means you won't encounter AI unless you manually trigger it.
I've been using Kagi as my default search engine for the past few months and I've begun to really like it.
