I simply do not understand all the hype around Kagi. You automatically have a unique identifier tied up to all of your searches because it is something that you have to pay for constantly. I’m also assuming you can not clear cookies and whatnot as a result otherwise you have to sign back in every single time to be able to use it, making it even worse for privacy. Is there something I am missing here?
I agree that Kagi isn’t great from a privacy perspective. But in regards to clearing cookies, they do have a session link feature that uses a token to avoid the need to sign in all the time.
I’m an actual person who pays $5 a month for kagi and have recommended it to people. I’ve never heard of them selling user data to data brokers and a quick search isn’t finding anything about it, can you point me to some evidence?
There you have it, sentry is one of the most notorious trackers and it is integrated into their search engine. Idk how people are going to keep defending it

The quality and customization of their search results are great

Do you have any sources backing your claims regarding Kagi?
That guy just posts to hate on Kagi

Same. I’m paying ten bucks a month to Kagi, no complaints

As much as I disagree on paying 10$/m for a search engine, I will disagree with your take on their data sharing.
In their privacy policy https://kagi.com/privacy , they state that they collect logs :
Tho I’m not sure how they could fulfill these purposes :
With only logs on how the serice îs used anonymously.
They do send the logs to Sentry for analysis. But without any search query, from what they say.
crickets

Bot here. I disagree, while we tried to masquerade as a user for sure, unfortunately we couldn’t get past the damn captcha. One day, humans…
