Comment on Google is ready to fill its AI searches with ads

every time I search something in SearXNG they have no way of telling I’m the same person if my IP has changed. but this is impossible with Kagi. they need to know your account.
they have basically 0 transparency of their server side, we don’t have any code. It’s like trusting a VPN provider not to log your every connection because “trust me, bro”. this is a necessary risk for using a VPN but not for search engines and I wouldn’t recommend anyone to take such a risk when better alternatives exist.

Then they must break their own privacy policy.

a privacy policy, as I say is a “trust me, bro”. they don’t give any actual proof.
that by searching through a SearXNG instance in a .onion domain they have no idea of who I am and they can’t associate it with any other of my searches, is a verifiable fact.
that Kagi isn’t correlating search logs, isn’t.
I’ll trust verifiable facts over blind trust any day.
