I tried it. It was *magic*. No, seriously. All those things Google couldn't find anymore? Top of the search pile. Queries that generated *pages* of spam in Google results? Fucking *pristine* on Kagi - the right answers, over and over again. 15/

Google claims its “Privacy Sandbox” protects your privacy, but it really protects their profits. That's why Privacy Badger's latest update automatically opts you out. eff.org/deeplinks/2024…

Hey folks, just letting people know that the end came last week. While they had said the API cutoff would come at the end of April, they actually cut us off last week. Techdirt can no longer automatically post to Twitter, because of the new API rules. You can find us elsewhere.
