god what I wouldnt give to go back to the days of the mid 90s, when the internet was nothing more than a collection of tech weirdos, with websites being nothing more than passion projects with no advertising, no SEO, no search engines, etc etc.

It’s a small web search engine so there is not a result for everything (as there was in the early Internet). The ‘Explore’ feature is probably more entertaining (stumble upon-esque) than using it as an actual search engine.

Kagi isn’t bad at not serving up crap, but it requires a subscription eventually.

there was plenty of advertising on america online though almost ever keyword was to a business that was an advertisement.

i do agree that web 1.0 and the 90s internet was superior

I’m going to risk that going back to personal websites would be a blast. And people would enjoy it.

Nothing, really.

We’re the only ones stopping ourselves. The 90s and everything that made is ‘great’ is still here, we just choose not to use it.
