When i left Chrome, one of the things I was looking for was vertical tabs and was willing to try anything. I wasn’t fond of a mac first option, but I decided to try it. Installed it and the first thing it did was to force me to make an account, uninstalled it instantly.
I’m not against the option of having an account, but forcing it makes me distrust them. Was not long after that there were also some major security flaws found as well. They really didn’t make it easy for people to change, almost like they thought the apple form over function would appeal more broadly.

Yep. Save reason I won’t use Kagi and I don’t use AI much. Surveillance capitalism will only ever lead to authoritarianism and dystopia. I don’t want anything to do with it.
You can’t trust any company to not sell you out and pick your carcass clean.

Isn’t kagi’s point that they store very little about you to the point there no search history and you have to pay for the service provided?

If their code isn’t open source, and your searches aren’t encrypted in such a way that their logging of them isn’t an option, why should you believe them? It’s not like there’s some precedence that corporations face any legitimate consequences for their crimes. Unless they steal from the wealthy, any consequences will be less than the profits from their crimes.

Can you cite me some instances of surveillance from Kagi? Genuinely asking.

What do you use instead of Kagi?
Also you can search without tying your searches to your account with Kagi.
