Heads up for Kagi users:

Huge yikes.

Kagi is now partnering with Brave to power its search results — and they seem to be dismissing their users’ concerns regarding this partnership with a company that’s notorious for being led by a proud anti gay rights supporter.

Just as I’ve consistently advised against using Brave’s products, I now advise against using Kagi as long as it contributes to a homophobic business.

There can be no neutral politics when it comes to people’s rights and lives.

@jarrod My comment to Kagi's form asking why I canceled my subscription plan:

I urge you to reconsider your partnership with Brave, which, as you know, is led by Brendan Eich who holds and professes homophobic views. I was happy with your search results before the partnership with Brave and would be happy to pay for your service again without them.

Back to Ecosia and Keyword Search, I guess!

@jarrod I've liked that Ecosia spends at least some of its profits to plant trees, but with a few tests on DuckDuckGo, I was impressed and might have to give that one another try. As long as I'm switching things up, I might as well test all the waters, I s'pose.
