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.

There is no meaningful way to stop the core collection, your public posts are available via API for mass scraping, and security is disclosed only in the vaguest terms.
