There’s a force paid option for Kagi. Pay, or it doesn’t work. So I don’t know what you’re talking about. And I don’t understand why people throw a shitfit about YouTube ads and streaming ads- while simultaneously defending a paid browser.

Pratai
But they’re such honest and decent folk!!!
Apparently iOS doesn’t differentiate. I have Kagi installed and if I enable it, it forces the search engine to be used and there is no option to select it as a browser.
Every time I open the internet now it is asking me to pay. Had to turn it off and delete it.
Ahh. The browser is the interface. Right? I’ve just always called them both the same ring it seems.
Okay. Here comes my ignorance, but what’s the difference? The browser is what searches the internet. No?
You pay monthly to have a browser?
I tried them out and there is no version of any universe where I would pay a monthly fee to use a browser. What an idiot idea that is.
So, DDG is is!
It’s both.
AI is designed around telling the user what they want to hear, and only mindless idiots take advice from sycophants, ergo….
This would be funnier if any of them had an ounce of self-awareness and shame. As it is- those that should really take a lesson from this, won’t.
Slap on the wrist incoming.
Look, here’s one now!
Only it’s being overrun by a bunch of teenaged idealists that insult anyone that disagrees with them.
LMAO! What a broken take this is.
How utterly pathetic that there are people advocating for AI models welfare. For fucks sake what are we becoming?
Everything we do, is going to be an advertisement.
Yep. We’re fucked.
The moment people get off their dumb asses and realize that the entire AI infrastructure is designed around maximizing user interaction, should be the same moment people realize that it’s all bullshit and is not anywhere close to a source of useful information.
The entire AI infrastructure needs to be shut the fuck down.
This is great to hear! And damn good parenting my friend.
