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

      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 🫤 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.
