You can actually try kagi for free. 100 searches/month should be enough for you to decide if it's worth the money to you.

Kagi went to bed with Brave, and when people protested they ignored it

That's kinda stretching the definition of 'went to bed'. Brave is one of the result providers you can select as a source, and that's about it

Is kagi a metasearch engine? Or does it have its own crawler and so on?

I'm going to give Kagi a try, thanks to this comment - I didn't know there was a free trial.
