However, there’s two things I’m suspicious about. The first was Brave Search and Kagi; facebook bends over backwards to avoid giving users that kind of control, and this is a norm I’ve observed throughout web services run by large corporations. Kagi and Brave Search don’t seem to have ties to a large corporation, but I’m still suspicious that something that good could exist in the modern era. I’d love to be proven wrong about this.
The other thing is NYT wirecutter. I remember some pretty suspicious content there, although I never wrote anything down. It was never anywhere near as serious as that one time WSJ wrote an outright propaganda piece praising Roblox for hijacking the minds of millions of 10-year-olds. Maybe NYT innocently followed some trends that were actually started by corrupted reviewers, and that set off my warning bells because I only ever observed wirecutter.
I found this post extremely helpful.

kagi is a paid service. I don’t really understand brave’s model.
