From my understanding, Kagi uses Google Search as a source, probably using residential IP proxies, and filter and reorder the results based on a few metrics such as the amount of ads and the domain blocks by the Kagi users.

It’s fine but I went back to DDG/Bing with uBlacklist.

What makes you think that kagi uses Google? To my understanding that is utterly incorrect.

They use Google and are completely open about it, you can easily confirm this.
