Why not use another search engine, and still use an adblocker?

Because they are all worse than google in many areas, especially for local results

I've tried a couple and they all return worse results on average. Scrolling down past the LLM garbage and paying attention to which results are real is less work than re-querying DDG 4 times to get a decent result.

I haven't tried kagi, but I've heard similar anecdotes here on Lemmy. I'm not opposed to paying. The ad model is unsustainably at best.
