This is why I never feel safe downloading a program from Github. I need a recognisable domain name website that google or duckduckgo has picked as the product.
No it's not perfect, but it feels safer than a random github.
I need to install Magisk.
Google:
1st result: their Github page
2: magisk-manager.fr.uptodownDOTcom/android
3: magiskmanagerDOTcom/
4: magisk-manager.fr.softonicDOTcom/android
Kagi:
1st result: their Github page
2: magiskDOTme/ (icon showing it may be scam)
3: magiskmanagerDOTcom/ (scam icon)
4: themagiskDOTcom/ (scam icon)
No way I'm clicking on anything but the Github page.
Kagi is somewhat better than Google, but you have to pay attention to the small warning icon.
I would say bot search engines do a bad job and shouldn't show those results (or have an option "show me unsafe websites")
edit: uptodown and softonic might not be as bad. Still wouldn't download from them.
