DuckDuckGo has a “hide ai images” setting. It seems it also blocks these videos. I’m not getting any of those videos in your screenshot if I search on DDG.
The search itself is great and accurate. Kagi doesn’t track you, show ads or manipulate search results to get you to buy something or because someone paid them to. You are their paying customer so they focus on making the service for you. You can actually manipulate the results to your needs by ranking (voting) domains up, down or completely blocking. Imagine search results without pinterest, quora or tiktok! There’s a lot of other settings and pre-made or custom filters to search the areas of the Internet you want.
Kagi is not focused on AI, contrary to Google, Bing etc. AI is optional and it’s not shoved in your face. You can chose to display quick AI summaries, hide them or have them appear if you finish your query with a question mark. Contrary to Google, Bing etc. these summaries are actually really good because they summarize (or give you an answer based on) search results and the search results are simply better the in the other search engines.
Couple of years ago I also noped out hearing I would need to pay for search. The truth is, with “free” search you’re paying for it with your frustration, your private information that they mine, use and sell. Searching is getting worse and worse and they won’t make it better because you’re not even their customer, you’re a sheep they shear to sell your wool to tailors so they can make cloths and sell them back to you. Maybe I drifted a bit with the metaphor but you know what I mean 🤣
Kagi lets you set up a free account without giving them your credit card. You get a small number of free searches that refill every month so you can try it for free. There are obviously Black Friday deals etc.
I also have this link that’ll let you try Kagi Pro for 90 days for free. Somone posted it on Kagi subreddit, seems to be working still even though it’s Thanksgiving promo.
I’m very happy with Vivaldi. Works great with Kagi on Linux and Android and in the android version they recently introduced an option to configure custom engines (like Kagi) right in the app (previously you needed to add it on PC and sync to android).

That Kagi Linux browser they’ve been teasing for the last few months can’t come out fast enough! I wrote this comment on Firefox+ublock btw

But more options is always better.
It only partially works, still get ai images with that setting enabled.
