Wrong opinion to have, but I never really found the difference between Kagi results and DDG results to be different enough to warrant paying for something that doesn’t even work on my phone without hacks. FWIW I agree google search is now unusable, only comparing to DDG
- jjtheblunt 3y agoWhat sort of phone do you have where using kagi requires hacks?
- corytheboyd 3y agoiPhone
- jjtheblunt 3y agoI use it in my iphone with no trickery. Perhaps it’s easiest to use Orion…i’ve found it very nice.
- corytheboyd 3y agoAsking me to change web browsers is insane, so off the table. That leaves going to kagi.com in my browser to then search, but nobody does that. I am opening the web browser, and using the address bar to search, and I want that experience to be good. To have that flow work with kagi you have to jump through some pretty crazy hoops. The point where I unsubscribed for good was when the crazy hoops stopped working. I get it, chips are stacked against them, but something as critically well understood as searching the web just HAS to work as expected, because the free alternatives have a very very good UX.
- jjtheblunt 3y agoExcept for your first two sentences, you’re describing how I use Orion on iOS. I haven’t tried any macos version, randomly. (Agreed about manually going to kagi.com not happening, etc.)
