Fair enough, but it’s usually either pay or let yourself become the product. For what it’s worth, instead of having to append “Reddit” or other items to get proper results, Kagi actually lists useful results. And for the number of queries that I’ve run this month, it’s less than 1cent a search. Not having to shift through all the shit results is worth 1cent to me.
Not OP, but I use Orion browser which lets you use some 3rd party extensions. Also I’m pretty sure Firefox does too. These are all based on WebKit though, so uBlock Origin doesn’t behave as well as the full fledged desktop versions imo.
