I currently use an add-on to block search engine results (Highlight or Hide Search Engine Results[1]) so Kagi sounded interesting, but the free tier having a limit of 50 searches puts it out of the realm of even giving it a trial period for me.

I really like the idea about a sort of global blacklist for your permissions.

Yeah, I should have mentioned that Kagi isn't free. I was _thrilled_ to pay for it, though base on just two things:

1. I was all but certain it couldn't provide worse search results than Google (that bar is pretty low now).

2. I knew it would let me exclude websites from search results.

The fact that it provides pretty decent search results and a nice user experience were just icing on the cake.
