Verdict: Not worth it for me right now. I've fallen back to Google for those very few searches that Brave and Bing are not handling well. But Brave gets better every day, so trying to train myself to use their algorithms to my best advantage.

Other con, predictive typing. This is why I stopped using Google, because they now enforce javascript and you can't turn off the distraction of suggestions and predictive next words. I hate that. Fortunately you can disable javascript on Kagi and still search, so that works.

Cons: Results are too specific. The AI tries to guess what it is you really want, and then just gives you those results. I usually prefer to get a wide range of different kinds of results from a variety of sources.

Hmmm... can't really "edit" a post once it's done. I guess this is some kind of push update. Wanted to tag @lewisdesimone.bsky.social
