    Consider 0patch before you give up on windows

    Unless there’s a very specific application need, I think the most sensible thing would be to ditch Windows. Better for security, better for privacy, better for the world to increase the mainstreaming of Linux.








    • The results, first and foremost. When I’m getting better results it saves me time and it’s worth it to me.
    • Site ranking up/down/block
    • Removal of AI generated images from image searches
    • Custom “lenses” mean that you can create subsets of the internet to search on
    • The filtering options
    • Modification of result URLS. For example I rewrite all Reddit links to old.reddit.com - ^https://(www.|)reddit.com|https://old.reddit.com/
    • AI model integration (this one is definitely going to be polarising…). I’m already paying for Kagi, and this lets me query a stack of different models at no extra cost.
    • Custom CSS (a minor thing, and sure I could use a browser extension, but this way it’s consistent on all my devices with no extra effort)
    • Compared to Searxng, other than the results being better, it’s the ease of configuration. I can’t be bothered trying to tweak Searxng through YAML when I could just get exactly what I need OOTB.

    There’s probably more that I’ve simply gotten used to over time, but that’s a few off the top of my head.
