As a former Kagi user (quit all my US company subscriptions recently in order to support EU) I’ve now used Startpage for a month and it has been great so far.

That “just Pocahontas” argument is kind of tiring because retelling a story doesn’t automatically make it bad. It’s like saying “Lion King, meh, literally just Hamlet”.

Honest, stupid question: Why exactly is this such a big deal to so many of you? (I don’t use Mastodon.)
