one I like to use to demonstrate is "how to fix a leaking faucet"
Google gives you a full page of ads for plumbers
Kagi gives you instructional videos from This Old House. It's night and day.
- gcau 1y agoI just tried this, and google returned a variety of videos (guides for fixing), and various text/website tutorials (home depot, reddit etc), I had to scroll to the absolute bottom to see an ad for a plumber.
- coldpie 1y agoI had the same experience. I'm located in Minnesota, USA, not currently logged in to Google, and I use an ad blocker. First result was a Home Depot home repair article that looks genuinely useful. Then relevant YouTube videos, Reddit threads, an iFixIt link, a link to the Portland government website. I see zero things I would explicitly call an "ad" on the first page.
