Comment on Is Kagy web browser worth it?

Feels like this is an add, but in case it’s not, I use crypto to pay the lowest rate plan and this keeps me anonymous. I really like it but would strongly advise against giving a search provider your personal info which you have to do if paying by credit card. Its a much different thing having your searches linked to an IP vs your cc, name and home address.

Do you then need to buy the crypto anonymously? I'm always confused about that point

You can buy it anonymously, mostly through P2P exchanges and markets. But simply buying bitcoin or some other popular coin with a credit card, then exchanging that to Monero and using that to buy your privacy things will work as well.
Monero is stupidly private and anonymous.

Thanks! My barrier to using crypto has been this first purchase element. Because afaik crypto is not inherently pvt and anon?

You can but I don’t. You pay the crypto to Kagi through a third party pay service. Its not 100% untraceable but it’s enough to keep you out of any automated tracking that Kagi is or will eventually be doing.
