Google has transformed from being the primary search engine to something people are willing to pay to avoid. In this episode, Cherlynn and Devindra are joined by 404 Media co-founder Jason Koebler to discuss his transition from Google to Kagi, a $10 per month search engine that is ad-free and doesn’t track user data. Interestingly, Kagi still relies on Google’s index, providing a similar experience to the pre-advertisement, sponsored content, and AI-driven results era. We also delve into the controversy surrounding Chrome’s incognito mode and Google’s announcement that it will delete user data collected in that mode.
