Imagine there is no YT, no Twitter/X, no Facebook, no Netflix, no Amazon, no Apple, no Google to to search the Web, no chatGPT. Imagine there is no TikTok either (even though it’s not US). Just imagine there is no ‘giant’ tech from anywhere owning any app or service that millions if not billions of people are willing to use.
A world without any of those giant (US) tech companies and services that many of us take for granted.
In that world, what would you use the Internet for? How would you use it? And how much time do you think you would spend online, compared to now?
(my own answer in the comments)
Kagi is too expensive. It’s an ok search engine, not much better than anything else, but they need to lower the price to make it worthwhile.
Honestly for 5$ it is slightly better than other platforms. You get so much value if you use everything it offers and it’s better for privacy than other engines. But that’s just my opinion as a customer whose used it. They’re small and not as robust as the giants, but it’s sustainable compared to DuckDuckgo, and a fee others.
Alright I am looking again with another triail. I wish the browser that they install on android would open links in Firefox Focus (drops cookies, blocks ads).
If more people used and improved https://yacy.net/ that would be swell.
