Basically the title. There are other privacy focused+free search engines, such as duckduckgo, startpage and brave search. What makes Kagi worth the $10/month?

    I’m happy with SearXNG. At the time I had issues with each search engine, and this meta search engine is great for me.

    You can run one locally on your device, or connect it to a domain like I did, so I use it everywhere: seek[.]agurav[.]xyz You’re welcome to try mine, or use it daily. it’ll blend my own activity a bit so it’s good for me. For u, you’ll have to trust my word that I don’t sell your data or something. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

    Ultimately, give it a try, and then host your own or use a public instance that you trust.

      I’ve been trying to get into Searx for about a month now, but I just cannot make it work the way I want it to.
      The auto-detect is constantly in the wrong country, sometimes throwing me to a random one if I search for a product e.g.
      If I lock it to one country it works better, but then it excludes so much potentially useful data.

      Any advice on how to set it up a bit to make it work better?
