Yep: Google alternative that shares revenue with creators

Competing heads-on with Google makes no sense; They already nailed the product on desktop and they are decades ahead in R&D.

At most you can attack it from a niche like voice-activated search, video search, Smart TV searches or car-searches.

The real opportunity to disrupt them was mobile search but they also saw that and went aggressively after it. The next big mainstream opportunity probably is when brain-to-computer links such as neuralink become functional.

Google search gives me mostly shit results now.

I have now completely switched to Kagi and code.you.com.

I barely use Google now.

just curious why don't you use you.com for both regular search and code search?

I use code search in You just for the layout and the variety of resources I see.

On the other hand, Kagi can show me better results that are better than Google.

You often includes many results in Google search results.

Kagi has results that don't appear on DDG, Google, or You. I checked several times.

After the launch of their FF extension, I made Kagi the default search engine for everything related to work and work-related-play.

I also use Kagi as the default on my phone for some months.

I use You Code because of the layout, honestly.
