Yay! @kagihq have provided a URL where you can continue to use their "1996-style" search as your home page.

It's so nice to have a bit of colour and human interaction there. "Small Web" has already become a favourite after just a few days. So many great, mad, creative websites to browse!

Is this the EU based search engine?

I've been looking to ditch more US based places over the last few years. Switched to duckduckgo a long time ago and removed/disabled all other search engines in browsers and mobile devices. Attempting to degoogle my life as much as possible.

@Anomnomnomaly @janeishly @kagihq There is a similar search engine called Uruky, which I’ve been looking at. EU based, but I haven’t tried it yet though. https://uruky.com

@gavin57 @Anomnomnomaly Oh great, I'm always looking for new search engines – ideally EU-based and without any AI included, anywhere. I don't mind paying as it's so important for me to get reliable results.
