I paid for Kagi and have been super happy with it. If you don't mind paying, I highly recommend it. Not having ads or manipulated results is worth it for me.
I'm unhappy that Kagi uses geo-location data to provide certain types of results
Oh that sucks, can you turn it off or spoof the location?
You can easily spoof the location on most search engines by using a VPN, but I'd much prefer my search engine solely respond to deliberate input from the user
you can just turn it off, see https://help.kagi.com/kagi/settings/general.html
