Google owns ~90% of the search market and if you don't play by their rules, you're out of the game. The argument is that there's nothing really superior about their technology today, just market dominance to force everyone to operate in a way that serves their _ad_ interests as opposed to search interests.



So I signed up for Kagi a while back.

I'll be candid, it's good ... it's a hair less annoying than google, the results are just as hit or miss.

Here is the thing, if I need to BUY something Kagi falls flat on its face.

I find myself going back to google to shop, and to be candid it has drawn a contrast for me on spending. The "extra step" to buy has slowed me down.

I dont think breaking up google changes consumer behavior. It creates a hydra out of a snake.
