One of criteria for inclusion into Kagi Small Web [1] is no dickovers. Thanks for naming it properly John.

[1] https://kagi.com/smallweb


Oh, Vlad is here. Thanks for Kagi, and spread these thanks to all Kagi employees too! Please adopt dickover.

The real dickover moment is when you start using a service and then realize they are doing business with Yandex.

Yandex is great. When you want to see news/sites/whatever that does not conform to what the western mainstream powers "accepts as acceptable", you can go to Yandex and you will find it there. When Google search went to shit some years ago I discovered Yandex and found out how much of the web was being deliberately kept away from my eyes. You need search engines from every major power broker in the world to get a full picture of what we arrogantly like to call "truth".

Could you or someone working on this make it easier to share the original link for a small web post? It’s difficult to the point of making me think you’re trying to force me to share the Kagi version of the url.

I hope you make an exception for this specific page.

FYI it took me 3 clicks of “next” to hit a page with a cookie dickover. Might need to tweak the filter.

Flag it please, want to think you were unlocky/page added it after inclusion. It is still a manual effort to verify them, mistakes happen. Definetely not intended.

Kagi's -> 'fetch it' (dog mascot play)


Thank you. I confess I only looked for it in the HTTP headers, no search

For example, DDG puts it in the content-security-policy header


We started saving this data late :)

There is actually a list with metrics https://greatcountry.org (disclaimer: my pet project)

Interesting project!

I would say some of the indicators are a little odd.

Some of them are questionable in terms of capturing the spirit of the idea ("violent crime" being the same in the UK and the US is a surprising one to me for example. It's capturing serious assault per 100k, but is then not considering murder as violent crime. You have murder later, but maybe combine / group them?).

Some are confusing because they are not clear politically: everyone wants less violent crime, but I don't know your politics and so have no idea which direction you have weighted net migration and asylum/capita.


All 37 factors are equal weighted.

For the record this is on Google https://imgur.com/a/De1AVpt definetely not #1

Kagi allows personalization, the difference is you as a user control it. If you used kagi for decade (assuming this is what you used Google for) I am sure the results would be fine tuned to your preference too.


We have a big overhaul of Kagi Maps coming, stay tuned :)

How do you feel your data for Kagi Maps compares to Google Maps? It's the kind of thing that's harder to test than switching web searches over to Kagi. I need to already know that the business and transit data is reliable which is why I still go to Google Maps.

Local queries are the I've things I use Google for still -- but Kagi makes it easy, you just start your query with !g and it redirects you. So it's pretty safe to switch the default.

I’m looking forward to it. I never stopped using Google Maps because no alternative was as ubiquitously useful (OSM is better in certain areas, but it’s hard to say when, which eventually resulted in me switching back to GM full time).

Kagi is awesome! Good luck w the updates

Looking forward to this.

Incredible result! (on the day I did my own 5K pb)

Looks like their own website has been designed with the tool, and it shows.

Unlike coding which is discrete, design makes us feel and is an art. Not sure that this will work.


On a recent United flight to Europe I was in a windowless business class 'window' seat while the person in front of me got to have three windows. I thought it was funny - was clearly an engineering mishap caused by the shape of bc seats.
