Kagi has introduced a setting that automatically removes paywalled links from search results.
Engineers who use Kagi for research will no longer need to manually skip paywalled results. The automatic setting changes the default search behavior, potentially saving time. However, the effectiveness depends on Kagi's ability to correctly identify paywalled content.
