Pretty sure it’s possible to opt out

Cause the free alternatives are trash, so… it’s not like “free is better” is always true
I did lol, why the hell would I recommend it otherwise?
It’s a search engine, so to be better than the others it’s obvious it would have to return better results than the usual ad-based crap — and it does. There is a free trial and you can check out if it’s worth it for you btw
It has quite a lot of QoL features for searches, but their main one — searching — is worth the cost; if you do a search once in a blue moon or append “Reddit” at the end of a query, it’s not imo since any search engine is “good enough” for that. If you instead actually do a search without having a specific website in mind, it’s good. You can also filter out the quora and other shitty websites results, which is nice
Kagi is better
If you don’t play the Halo trilogy at least once every year the flood wins
Mass effect or BG3 or wrath of the righteous (side quests are kinda trash) or dragon age
Mmh I see! I used a tool to convert the website to an electron package (for Linux), but the experience was just the same as using the browser so I just went with that tbf
I agree that ElectronJS is shit but the idea behind isn’t bad. See tauri, it achieved the same thing but better
Source: I’m a developer forced to also work with electron
You don’t have to rely on stupid “app” stores
What’s the difference to open it in your own browser then?
Yeah but it’s as buggy as hell
I love how somehow electron is the lazy way while web apps isn’t, even though electron is just an executable with chromium bundled
Which honestly makes sense, what’s the point of PWA on desktop?
Yeah you can also connect a wireless HDMI adapter and use the desktop mode as well (though you can’t play and use the desktop mode at the same time)
I’m using bazzite on my pc connected to the TV and it’s been a great experience: I can play using a controller on most games thanks to steam input and overall it feels like a classic console experience on par with Xbox Series X (with some steam mods you can also have the quick resume functionality)
You need more minerals
You can, it’s nothing new
