I've been enjoying Kagi for the last couple years.

Even as LLMs slurp up most of the internet and replace search I think Kagi is still useful.

Reddit has recently blocked access to old reddit without an account and the ability to filter out stuff like that is useful.

Alternatively, you can configure Kagi to rewrite Reddit links to point to an alternative front-end via https://kagi.com/settings/redirects

Me too. The longer I use it, the more I like it. Initially I found myself going back to google fairly often, but unless I'm specifically trying to find a product for sale in my region, Kagi is almost always better now. Maybe Kagi got better, or google got worse, or probably both.

I wish they put more effort into Kagi news. Feels very barebones but has a lot of potential.

I don't understand why this is a barrier considering their accounts aren't invasive at all since you can use a temporary email account to sign up, and then you never have to do anything via email after that.

Old Reddit still works just fine without an account.
