Kagi switched Apple maps for Mapbox

Youtube is about the last Alphabet service I knowingly use (except when someone shares a google doc).
I thought you meant no Youtube at all. I use Freetube and Newpipe almost exclusively.
Peertube too, when the instance I use to follow channels works (the two previous ones closed). It’s a pain to subscribe to stuff. Maybe with RSS feeds…

edit: I’ve been subscribed to Kagi for a while too, maybe going two years. Love it. Wish it was cheaper

I really liked Qwant maps, a good use of OSM, but the idiots closed it…

How do you do that? I would love to be able to avoid YouTube. I could go without the entertainment part of it, sure. But no more tutorials would already be a big pain. And then there are the news sites with embedded videos. Even the state uses it.

YouTube has single handedly almost nullified my degoogling project

Granted I don’t know much about the foundation, I wasn’t expecting such an organism, financed through donations, mostly built by the good will of contributors, to have the same values as amazon.

It’s fast, polished, really quite impressive. Maybe too AI-centric for my taste, and yet I like how the results are presented, and they were quite relevant at times… and bad too. For example I was searching for chatons.org (software) and it only gave me results for kittens* (chatons in french). While recognizing I was in France but giving all answers in English.

I wonder though, if I want to search something simple, say I forgot the exact URL of a website, how much ressources are being wasted explaining what the website does instead of simply giving me a link?

I like how Kagi does it, when I need a short AI answer I add a questionmark to my query.

I’ll keep testing this, it looks very promising. Best of luck to you!

*And the AI saying kittens are hairless at birth? I don’t use google so I assume this is the type of answers it gives, man that’s terrible

The more I know men, the better I like dogs
