not at all. with that, you achieve pseudonymity, because even if they can’t know who you are, they can tie every search you do to the very same account, your “pseudonym”.

Good point

with kagi, even if you take the inconvenience of creating a new account each month, all your monthly searches are tied to a single account.

Not as far as i can tell. If you used a new burner email every time and paid through trocador with monero your payments could be tied back to the instant exchange, but no farther since monero uses ring signatures.

I didn’t mean to your real identity (if you’ve managed to do payment well enough and never leak your IP while using it), I meant that even if you create a new pseudonym every month, all your monthly searches are tied to a single pseudonym, which can reveal a lot about an individual.
