They should make their own party with blackjack and hookers. A third party that isn't sleepwalking like the democrats could actually win in this shitshow

You need to sign in to use it. Other than that, the results are more relevant and customizable. You can try it for free when you make a new account.

It's unfortunate that they're using religion as the basis for the new constitution, it would be much better to have full separation of the state from any religion. Despite that, it seems like a pretty big step in a positive direction for Syria

Qwant is probably the best free search engine at the moment tbh

Maybe this is going to be the year of the Linux desktop after all

From what I saw in the discussions regarding this topic, it seems they're using various third party indexes alongside their own, similar to how Qwant does it with Bing. It's unfortunate, but realistically other than building a full index like the one Google has, I don't see many other options. Google and Bing are plenty evil as well, not just Brave and Yandex. Maybe if the Qwant + Ecosia index works out, then we won't have to rely on companies like that. For now their position doesn't seem unreasonable to me: https://kagifeedback.org/d/2808-reconsider-your-partnership-with-brave

They seem to do quite a bit of indexing themselves. A good alternative that's from Europe would be Qwant, but they don't have a feature for searching the fediverse. It would be nice if it got added to fedi-search :)

Qwant and Ecosia are building a search index, but I don't think there is anything that can really compete with Google and Bing at the moment: https://betterweb.qwant.com/en/2024/11/08/ecosia-and-qwant-join-forces-to-develop-european-search-index/

Sure! It's what they call Privacy Pass. It's implemented using an extension that's available on most browsers (including Tor). The extension uses a session to generate tokens This step is linked to the account. The tokens themselves are not linked to an account, but are used to access Kagi itself afterwards. When you search using Privacy Pass, the extension offers those tokens instead of a cookie, so you lose any user preferences you've previously set up. Those searches are not linked to an account.

You can also create an account with a throwaway email and pay with bitcoin, so at that point I think it's pretty good for anonymity

Glad you like it!

I'm in the same boat. Paying for search put me off at first, in big part due to having to login to use it. But now that I've tried, it's a lot easier to use than expected. For example, you can get a session link to use for incognito searches, or an even more private option with anonymous tokens that let you use it without the searches being linked to your account at all.

The more I think about it, the more sense it makes. If a search engine is free, its goals won't be aligned with my interests as a user and we get stuff like sponsored search results.

 

Kagi has an option to search the Fediverse. This makes it a lot easier than specifying a site in the search query, which would also limit the results to a specific instance.

Why YSK: This lets you easily replace searches like "some topic reddit" with Lemmy!
