De-googling, so far

> my second issue with Kagi: privacy-wise, I simply don’t believe that a service that requires login and thus naturally associates all your activity with your identity is better than a service which can be used without a login.

I don't get this argument. Do you want to be protected from the services you use, or do you want a partnership based on trust? With aligned incentives, trust is easier. Without trust, not logging in won't save your privacy. Just pay the nice people money for the very nice service they provide, and let them build trust with you.

I do get this argument. It's a horrible idea privacy-wise to have your everyday internet activity be obtainable with a search warrant. Do you trust the people who run Kagi to go to jail when they are presented with a search warrant to obtain your activity?

If so, I can guarantee you that your trust is misplaced. They will not go to jail. They will comply with the warrant.

I do not, nor will I ever, trust a corporation.
