Yeah, only starting with the Pixel 8 they promised 7 years of support

What phone I have? Pixel 8 Pro (I bought it specifically for GrapheneOS, otherwise I wouldn't have bought a Pixel, als the original Pixel ROM is laggy as fuck)

Supported Devices are all Pixels since the Pixel 5a. https://grapheneos.org/faq#supported-devices

I'd recommend using GrapheneOS. (i'm using it, and it is a breath of fresh air)

I don't think that's possible with searxng (but I'm not 100% sure, but I can't seem to find that feature)

I know there are browser extensions which can filter out domains in search results for different search engines like google and duckduckgo.

But the pinning/lowering/raising is a bit trickier to implement as an extension, because what kagi does is basically:

  1. Load 3 pages of search results in the backend
  2. Show a result as the first entry if it matches a rule for pinning
  3. Influence the search ranking algorithm with the lower/raise rules of the user
  4. Filter out blocked domains

It would be possible but not as "streamlined" as Kagi does.

Don't get me wrong, Kagi definitely has its rough edges and the search ranking algorithm is sometimes very unpredictable, but it provides good enough results for me to be worth the 10$ per month for unlimited searches.

Same, except searches for local stuff in my area, as Kagi is a bit US centric

Kagi has search personalization where you can lower/raise/pin specific domains (one of kagis main selling points) and I blocked geeks for geeks and w3schools, as these are irrelevant for me and I don't want them in my results

Kagi:

First result is the official documentation with the page that contains information about the in operator

This was the result: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.0/functions.html

BUT it is the documentation for 9.0

Though if I would use postgresql documentation very often I could just use the Kagi feature that rewrites URLs with a regex, so I can replace it always with the latest version.

Kagi Documentation for that feature:

https://help.kagi.com/kagi/features/redirects.html#redirects-url-rewrites

Some use cases of redirects include:

  • Change domains to a preferred domain (reddit.com to old.reddit.com)
  • Fixing links to outdated documentation with bad SEO
  • Rewriting proxied pages (like Google AMP) to their source URL
  • Changing any http link to https

For me the uBlock Origin cookie notice filters broke many sites (e.g. it feels like it is frozen, blank screen), while consent o matic just fills them out

On the Pixel I'd recommend the astrophotography mode which exposes for 4 to 5 minutes, it works very well.

You need to use the night mode in the camera and then put the phone on a tripod or lean it against something so it won't move, after a few seconds the shutter button will turn into a stars symbol. Then press the shutter button and it will tell you how long you should leave the phone there.
