I've been using it exclusively since beta and am completely satisfied! The key improvement for me over other services is the ability to boost and block domains—it comes with a decent set of filters for the worst offenders (I've never seen a GitHub issues or StackOverflow mirror), but it's two clicks to block a domain that I personally don't like seeing. Pinterest, geeksforgeeks, and a bunch of other low-quality high-SEO sites all get permanently blocked for me, which is a huge quality of life improvement.

Blocking Quora alone makes it worth the price of entry.

Oh, totally. It's a sign of just how much better my search life has been that I'd completely forgotten about Quora when I was trying to remember what I'd blocked.

And blocking any Medium website.

I’ve been paying for kagi as well and am really satisfied with the results. One improvement tho: the image search is not there yet. I often have to use Google (or better: Yandex) for that.
