I don't understand why Kagi is appealing, tbh. It just gives you Google and Bing results. What type of censorship does Kagi really apply? It wasn't until just recently that DDG admitted to censorship. Not sure if I can trust Kagi's promises of privacy, etc since they don't open source it...the same problem I have with DDG.
It's worth paying for (maybe not at the rates they're planning to charge sadly) just for the fact that you can click a button and never see W3Schools results in your searches ever again. Or any other spammy domain that comes up top on every other search engine.
There are Chrome extensions to remove the ones you don't want so not sure why I'd pay a premium to remove them. w3schools is the first result when I search for "php loop" so Kagi seems to be full of the same spam you are trying to escape:
I'm not sure if you're deliberately missing the point or not, but a) A Chrome extension to remove all the spam means an empty front page of search results on Google which isn't very useful, and b) I literally just told you that there's a button you can click in Kagi to never see those again - pointing out that they appear in the search results for someone who hasn't clicked that button isn't quite the win that you seem to think it is.
We're talking about Kagi, not Google. I edited my answer yesterday shortly after posting so that might be the confusion. Why would I pay a premium for a search engine that returns a full page of spam?
There's a Chrome extension that removes spam results from Kagi? Are you sure?
And again, I'm not sure whether you're just pretending to not understand what I'm saying, but I've already explained (twice) that Kagi lets you choose which spammy results you don't want to see, so "Why would I pay a premium for a search engine that returns a full page of spam?" appears to be answering someone else's post entirely. The whole point of what I'm saying is that you don't get a page full of spam, which you do get on every single one of the big, free search engines. I think I've run out of different ways to explain the same thing now so I'm going to bow out here.
Something like a cooperative where companies become the franchisee owner for a specific search vertical. They could get access to technology, software and knowledge, but the costs of infrastructure would be the responsibility of the member. As well as having their own “front page”, website and branding there would then be a “meta” search engine that intelligently searches the franchisees search engines based on the query.
If someone searches for something on one engine and it doesn’t have the results the “meta” search engine could be checked and direct the user to another engine that would better fit their query.
I just like and agree with conceptually Nuzzerino's idea above.
"Decentralized configuration would allow for communities with given interests to configure and distribute customizations for that audience, in a way that would appeal to that audience."
I created this because I needed an easy way to embed a map into a website without the hassle of creating a database. Since my data was already in Google Sheets I figured why not make an Add-on for it? Once the app is created you simply copy and paste a couple of lines of code into your website. The app automatically updates when you update your Google Sheet. In addition to maps, charts, and tables, I have more visualizations I plan on adding.
I open sourced this because Add-ons for Google Sheets have lots of power (like reading your spreadsheet, etc) and I want people to know exactly what we do with those permissions. There are a lot of other Add-ons in the Google Workspace Marketplace that do the same thing but this is the only one that is open source. Also, ours has the most generous free tier of them all.
I open sourced this because mail merge Add-ons for Google Sheets have lots of power (like reading your spreadsheet, connecting to your Gmail account, etc) and I want people to know exactly what we do with those permissions. Unlike most of the other mail merge Add-ons, Mailman doesn't require permission to read your Gmail account. Also, ours has the most generous free tier of them all.
What wording is similar? Interfaces also look different and their homepages look completely different. Using your logic, Mailmeteor looks as much like YAMM as this one does to Mailmeteor. Like I said, they all kinda look similar and do the same thing.
