Man, I love Kagi. Two years ago I would never have thought I'd ever pay for a search engine, but the option to block garbage domains like userbenchmark or sites with purely AI generated content is just too good.

For what it worth, there's uBlacklist for Google.

Yeah the best feature. Also filters those results from your assistant queries so less slop contaminating your results.

It's great how they constantly add little things to make their product better. This is definitely a useful feature. Giving tools to customize search makes it feel like a product instead of me being the product sold to advertisers.

FWIW, this is not new, though. Only the article about it is, I’ve been using it for a long time to redirect reddit links (as I’m not logged in on my phone)

Kagi demonstrates what tech could be like if it didn't conspire against its users.

This reminded me that a couple of years ago I set Kagi up to never show results from x.com at all. Nothing was lost.

This is so much more useful than the abhorrent practice Google employs of rewriting all its search result links simply to track what you clicked.

I do redirects like that in my browser using Redirector. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/redirector/

There is another one: https://libredirect.github.io/ A web extension that redirects YouTube, Instagram, Reddit, TikTok and many other websites to alternative privacy-friendly frontends. This is a fork of no longer maintained Privacy Redirect. Alternative frontends are fetched automatically, so it mostly works out of the box.
