Thoughts on Kagi? - eviltoast

I’ve been using this search engine and I have to say I’m absolutely in love with it.

Search results are great, Google level even. Can’t tell you how happy I am after trying multiple privacy oriented engines and always feeling underwhelmed with them.

Have you tried it? What are your thoughts on it?

    Kagi only stores the information about the client that you explicitly provide by using your account, as laid out in our interface. This includes:

    Your email to facilitate account access and support contact (ex: password reset) Your account settings (ex: theme, search region, selected language)

    And nothing else.

      I’m so glad that all companies always follow there privacy policy.

      Seriously though even if they don’t track you an adversary could compromise them

        They don’t, but a company built on that premise (private search) that does otherwise would be playing with fire. It caters to users that specifically look for that. I would quit in an instant if that would be the case, for example.

        This is true about pretty much anything. Unless you host and write the code yourself, this is a risk. It is a risk with searXNG (malicious instance, malicious PR/code change that gets approved etc.), with email providers, with DNS providers, etc.

        What solution you propose to this, that can actually scale?
