Why pay $10 a month to get away from Google search?

Published: April 4, 2024, 11:46 p.m.

Google has gone from being the go-to search engine to something people are paying to avoid entirely. This week, Cherlynn and Devindra chat with 404 Media co-founder Jason Koebler about his experience moving away from Google and towards Kagi, a $10 a month search engine without ads or data tracking. Funny enough, Kagi is still relying on Google\u2019s index, so it\u2019s a lot like using that site before the onslaught of ads, sponsored posts and AI results. Also, we discuss the company\u2019s lies around Chrome\u2019s incognito mode, as well as the news that it would be deleting user data collected in that mode.
