Huge yikes.

Kagi is now partnering with Brave to power its search results — and they seem to be dismissing their users’ concerns regarding this partnership with a company that’s notorious for being led by a proud anti gay rights supporter.

Just as I’ve consistently advised against using Brave’s products, I now advise against using Kagi as long as it contributes to a homophobic business.

There can be no neutral politics when it comes to people’s rights and lives.

What a disappointment.

I was genuinely enthusiastic about Kagi. I've been using the service for about a month, and I would have gladly continued my subscription for what I thought was a great product.

But there's no way I'm letting any more of my money go to them if they're perfectly aware that there's a chance it could end up in the accounts of those who actively fight to have me stripped of my rights.

@nileane is there any startup that’s not deeply rotten with toxic culture?

I’ve seen Kagi doing the headlines lately, haven’t understood the buzz about it. Was it that good? Better than @duckduckgo ?

@lionelrudaz @nileane @duckduckgo It was and curently still is, but not for long, their search engine is the least biased out there BUT they just threw money at Brave to pull in the alt-right search index.
