- Blocking, lowering, raising, and pinning domains has been one of my favorite Kagi features. Some of my block highlights include pintrest (and all it's other TLDs) and any AI trash articles I find when looking up something programming related. I lower Quora and Medium. I raise good references like docs sites, Wikipedia, ArchWiki, etc.
Not only are the stock results better: I also get more control over what I see and how it's presented. Huge fan.

- 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.

- 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.
- Kagi demonstrates what tech could be like if it didn't conspire against its users.
- 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.
- This is useful for redirecting x to xcancel
- I do redirects like that in my browser using Redirector.

- A reminder that Kagi, unfortunately, buys search index data from Russia and has repeatedly refused to stop doing so (https://kagifeedback.org/d/5445-reconsider-yandex-integratio...).
This is unfortunate, because I would love to use Kagi (in fact I was a subscriber before I learned about the above). For some of us, money flowing to Russia and/or search index data coming from Russia are moral issues.
- I uninstalled Reddit in protest to API changes, whenever I had to click Reddit links from search result, I was disgusted by their website, slow, bloated and ugly. I don't pay for kagi, so my workaround was -libredirect extension and farside.link website for working instances in Iceraven and helium browser.
