If you ever wanted to know too much about where the majority of our search results come from and the many niche alternatives trying something different…
After using Kagi a few months I’ve switched to Brave, and been pretty happy with it. It can be low on image results, but for regular web results I haven’t needed anything else.
Kagi was pretty good, but it didn’t really seem good enough compared to Brave search to justify $10 a month.
Thanks. I used mojeek a few years ago and was not satisfied, maybe it’s time to give it another go
Same. I switched to it earlier this week and it’s better than I remember. It’s either improved or I was being too picky last time, though the image search is unusable IMO.
working on it! If you have any searches not working for you then please send them in to us; it’s one the main ways in which we identify issues and improve Mojeek for everyone.
Stract is no non-sense

Seems fair, in reference to Kagi:

The “blatant homophobia” claim is an overreaction. The closest thing to this is one post by a single user who said “there’s nothing wrong with being against gay marriage…it’s political opinion and everybody has the right to theirs”. That user was basically the only one arguing in support of Eich in the thread and that was the most controversial thing they said. I think to try and frame this as Kagi implicitly supporting homophobia through a lack of moderation is very disingenuous. If you read through thread you can see many attempts to moderate the discussion, including several locks and warnings.

I can’t disagree. But as one facet among others, I also think “concern” is reasonably warranted in conducting a comparative assessment.
