Glad to see you care!

I have advanced blocking in uBlock Origin and all 3rd party scripts are blocked by default. Not sure how DDG came there (maybe because I came to Kagi through it?), but I have checked agsin and for CF it says:

assets.kagi.com

I assume you are using CloudFlare as CDN for your assets (can't check right now)? If so, it is a weird decision for a privacy focused search engine. Of course there are degrees to privacy, but CF is too big to be trusted imho.

EDIT: no, no extensions apart from UBO. :)

CloudFront is an AWS service (we use AWS for our infrastructure) and it has nothing to do with CloudFlare except sharing 6 letters in the name.

Would be nice if you double-chcecked both claims before making allegations publicly (or at least contacted us for clarification) as we do not have the resources of a big company to right all the wrongs said about us.

Everything about Kagi and privacy is available at kagi.com/privacy

Ouch, I apologize.

If it matters, you sure made the mark for me, and I will definitely check out the engine further.

Thanks. And yes it does matter, which is why I invested disproportionately more time and energy than it took to write the original comment, but it is a game I can not win at any scale. Unfortunately some people that seen the original comment and never seen my rebuttal will walk away misinformed and potentially spread misinformation further, further damaging our brand, all completely unnecessary.
