The hardest part of degoogling turns out to be replacing Google Maps (which unfortunately is one of the first things you want to replace, due to the mandatory Gemini outputs in the phone app).

Although Kagi's search is mostly OK, the maps product is odd in many ways. For example, if you look up Brenham, TX, Kagi gives the city 4.7 out of 5 stars and lists it as having operating hours (it's only open for four hours on Sundays)

@mcc i've never been to Brenham TX, should the rating be lower or higher?
@ratsnakegames Well, it's where the Blue Bell ice cream factory is, so I think it should be given a very high star rating actually

@mcc @ratsnakegames

That is why it is 4.7 out of 5. If the Blue Bell factory wasn’t there it would be a lot lower.
