+1 for Kagi. It's been my daily driver for 2.5 years and I have no complaints.
replyIsn't that because Kagi is just filtered Google results?
replyThat’s what startpage does. Kagi has a lot of sources.

Kagi _does_ use Google results, but they also have their own index, as well as search filters to curate _your_ search result. Makes it easier to cut out the garbage.
replyI’ve also been using Kagi for the past ~2 years. At first I would always also search Google to see if I was missing out on better results, but after a couple of months I no longer bothered because Kagi did better 99% of the time. It’s worth the cost, I’d keep it over Netflix if I had to choose.
replyTLDR Kagi is what Google would have been if they had kept improving instead of transitioning to enshitifying ~10yrs ago.
