I find the results to be cleaner and more relevant at least. With Kagi the relevant link is usually first or second link (like Google used to be) and the same search on Google I sometimes have to scroll down about 3-4 pages till I get to something relevant. Worse some of the ads Google is pushing to the top are misleading or completely contrary to what I’m looking for.

Kagi allowing me to ban domains (bye bye pinterest) and boost others has also been pretty helpful.

Right here I reckon. Reddit is pretty well covered here.

Windows 7 was peak Microsoft fwiw. Interface wise at least.

I haven’t had time to watch it but this guy did a video on this where he digs into it.
