Yet Kagi is one of the very very few services I've seen that sends a monthly reminder that they are ABOUT to charge you... And you have time to stop it. Typically I only ever see something like that with shipped goods where they might have to deal with a return + cancellation

My favorite is that I've now had multiple services that don't warn you prior to renewing an annual subscription.

Ben Thompson’s Stratechery subscription reminds you when there are about to charge you.

That's really nice sounding and comforting. I've been a little on the fence, but Google has become such absolute garbage lately that I've had to frequently use Bing in order to find something that should be one of the first results. This may just be a better model.

Kagi is so much better. You should just try one of the lower tier subscriptions for a while and see what it's like.

Just for warning, you'll still want to use Google as a backup for hyper local results, but generally the experience with Kagi is much better.

And can do so by adding !g to a Kagi query, just like on DDG.

You know, I once ordered takeout from the other side of the country because I had too much privacy on my search engine...
