I would pay like 1-3 dollars per month for Brave search since I use Brave browser with Brave search, so the ads are blocked. Not that I would ever click on a search ad, it would make me less likely to visit the site if there was an ad for it. Also paying for search would support them for their browser, which I use.
But only if I could pay in Monero, which they don’t accept.
I wonder if they make any money on search or if they are losing money.
Kagi is way too expensive for me when Brave is comparable quality or better. It really depends, sometimes Kagi is better, sometimes Brave is better. I like Brave’s UI more. Brave’s AI answer is really good as well.
