It's worth paying for (maybe not at the rates they're planning to charge sadly) just for the fact that you can click a button and never see W3Schools results in your searches ever again. Or any other spammy domain that comes up top on every other search engine.



There are Chrome extensions to remove the ones you don't want so not sure why I'd pay a premium to remove them. w3schools is the first result when I search for "php loop" so Kagi seems to be full of the same spam you are trying to escape:

https://kagi.com/search?q=php+loop


I'm not sure if you're deliberately missing the point or not, but a) A Chrome extension to remove all the spam means an empty front page of search results on Google which isn't very useful, and b) I literally just told you that there's a button you can click in Kagi to never see those again - pointing out that they appear in the search results for someone who hasn't clicked that button isn't quite the win that you seem to think it is.


We're talking about Kagi, not Google. I edited my answer yesterday shortly after posting so that might be the confusion. Why would I pay a premium for a search engine that returns a full page of spam?


There's a Chrome extension that removes spam results from Kagi? Are you sure?

And again, I'm not sure whether you're just pretending to not understand what I'm saying, but I've already explained (twice) that Kagi lets you choose which spammy results you don't want to see, so "Why would I pay a premium for a search engine that returns a full page of spam?" appears to be answering someone else's post entirely. The whole point of what I'm saying is that you don't get a page full of spam, which you do get on every single one of the big, free search engines. I think I've run out of different ways to explain the same thing now so I'm going to bow out here.
