Google has gone from being the search engine of choice to something people pay to avoid entirely. This week, Cherlynn and Devindra chat with 404 Media co-founder twitter.com/jason_koebler?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor” rel=”nofollow noopener” target=”_blank” data-ylk=”slk:Jason Koebler;cpos:2;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas” class=”link “>Jason Koebler about Your experience moving away from Google and towards Kagi, a $10 a month search engine with no ads or data tracking. Interestingly, Kagi still relies on Google's index, so it's a lot like using that site before the onslaught of ads, sponsored posts, and ai results. Additionally, we discuss the company's lies about Chrome's incognito mode, as well as the news that it would be deleting user data collected in that mode.
