Quite a controversial decision.... I love Kagi though, but I don't understand why they would want to drag Brave into this.

Have you ever actually tried it? I only did the trial run, but from my experience it pretty much delivers. Results are at a similar level to Google with a lot of junk removed and it was quite fast on top. Nothing else I tried came close. Neither Bing, Yandex nor Brave (all other alternatives are based on Bing), all have substantial holes in what they index or how current it is.

That said, I still wouldn't pay for it. At the end of the day it is just another search engine, a good one at that, but it doesn't really do anything fundamentally new. Google can find all the same sites.
