I am sure there is a good reason for this. I am looking for alternatives to google, and these to be the ones that pop-up most often.
RESOLVED: I used up my 100 searches in kagi pretty quickly, and the experience was really nice. I am quite anti-subscription, so I won’t continue using it. I eliminated brave from my search due to the crypto stuff and whatnot. I am now using mojeek, which gave me better results over DDG when searching for niche stuff. Also I like mojeeks interface a lot more.
This is at least the case for one company, see: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=cM_l-T1N5rE
