Personally I just use an ad blocker

Why not use another search engine, and still use an adblocker?

Because they are all worse than google in many areas, especially for local results

I've tried a couple and they all return worse results on average. Scrolling down past the LLM garbage and paying attention to which results are real is less work than re-querying DDG 4 times to get a decent result.

I haven't tried kagi, but I've heard similar anecdotes here on Lemmy. I'm not opposed to paying. The ad model is unsustainably at best.
