Yeah but I think Kagi is a meta search engine, so at least the technical dependency on Yandex is limited ๐Ÿคž

I also have high hope for the Ecosia x Qwant project but I don't think there is any specific funding yet, so it's just about sharing Qwant's advancement on building its index ๐Ÿซค Let's stop wasting all our money on AI and let's build our own datacenters and raise enough funding for a few dozens more search engineers!

I assume they pay Yandex for access to their index. I was a bit interested in trying Kagi a year ago or something until I heard about that. I really don't want any of my money to fuel the Russian war economy.

Want have been building their own index for many years, and I don't think they rely that heavily on Bing anymore. They have some articles about it.
