Too little too late. I have used G for like maybe 5 of my last 1000ish searches. There ARE between alternatives now. I like Kagi the most. Worth every penny.

  I too pay for, use, and swear by kagi now. It's great!

    I think what scares me about Kagi is the privacy aspect. One thing to look up "hot steamy decompiler software in my area" in an incognito tab (even if it's not particularly that private) and another to do that logged in to a service linked to your credit card linked to you through all the KYC.

      Do you not pay for your own ISP or cell service? And for all practical purposes, switching to an incognito tab is pointless against Google. If there are 99 searches from IP 1.2.3.4 using Firefox version 123.4 with Google cookies, and now 1 search from IP 1.2.3.4 using Firefox version 123.4 without Google cookies is practially "good enough" to assume it's still the same person. Anyway, I'm also sold on Kagi, and DuckDuckGo before that. I didn't even know Google had broken quote searches, but I'm not too surprised.

        But ISP dangers are at least mitigated by HTTPS/proxies/VPNs/public Wi-Fi/Tor. Does Kagi have any comparable protections? It would actually be extremely cool if it did.

      That's why at you.com we made private mode accessible without any login. And we don't even do analytics and do not store your query in private mode. (richard, ceo of you.com here)

  Wow, that reminds me of what Google used to look like!
