Kagi is a paid search engine that treats your data as a liability rather than an asset — it doesn't track your searches, offers cryptocurrency and Tor payment options for near-total anonymity, and publishes a warrant canary; the main caveats are US jurisdiction, third-party content providers loaded on demand, and 'whenever possible' hedging on its AI providers.
