> Google to understand my confusion and endless ads thrown my way,

Another reason why Google is terrified here. Search is per query cheap. GPT isn't.

If it were down to cost per query, they wouldn't have implemented search-as-you-type, which is probably 5x as expensive as waiting for the user to hit the enter button.

I guess many companies will pay for Github Co-pilot, ChatGPT style things.

No one will pay for access to a search engine.

Kagi, a paid search engine, and I, one of their customers, disagree, for what that's worth.

Holy shit this looks AMAZING. Rule out domains from searches entirely? Sold!

Excluding domains from results used to be possible on Google too :(

Can you give an example? It seems to work for me (?)

You can exclude them from specific searches, but there used to be a button that would add the exclusion to a cookie.

I'm still so lost on why they're making a browser only for Apple devices

Could be resource limitation, apple users tend to be more likely to pay for products so it makes more sense to target them exclusively

Regarding that Mozilla and Google now work on their own browser engines for iOS I get the feeling that Kagi should drop Orion and maybe work on their own mail thingy or something else.

But what do I know?

I tried the 50 free queries, and it was basically exactly the same experience as DDG. I can maybe see paying $10-$20/yr, but $10/mo? No way.

mandatory HN Kagi plug

Honestly if it was not an advert riddled mess tracking my every move I would definitely pay for search.

ChatGPT/Bing is a superior rival to Google's I'm feeling Lucky button, thats a threat to Google's search engine dominance.
