Kagi

Description

Kagi is a user-funded search engine that removes ads and trackers to deliver cleaner, faster results ranked purely on quality. Because it is funded by subscriptions rather than advertising, Kagi states it does not sell user data or build personal profiles, and keeps only the minimum data needed to run a subscription.

Alongside search, Kagi offers a suite of privacy-focused tools. Kagi Assistant gives access to multiple AI models grounded by Kagi search results, while keeping prompts and data private. The Orion browser adds built-in ad-blocking and anti-tracking, and additional tools include Kagi Translate, Kagi News, and Kagi Summarize.

Kagi also runs a Small Web initiative that surfaces non-commercial, human-made content in search results, and offers plans for individuals, families, teams, and libraries. A trial lets new users try search and Assistant before subscribing.
