Today we are announcing a new privacy feature coming to Kagi Search. Privacy Pass is an authentication protocol first introduced by Davidson and recently standardized by the IETF as RFCs. At the same time, we are announcing the immediate availability of Kagi’s Tor onion service.
In general terms, Privacy Pass allows “Clients” (generally users) to authenticate to “Servers” (like Kagi) in such a way that while the Server can verify that the connecting Client has the right to access its services, it cannot determine which of its rightful Clients is actually connecting. This is particularly useful in the context of a privacy-respecting paid search engine, where the Server wants to ensure that the Client can access the services, and the Client seeks strong guarantees that, for example, the searches are not associated with them.
[etc…]
Sweet. Time to enable this right away. Been using privacy pass for a while now, and quite like it. Same can be said for kagi
I installed it, but I’m probably just going to use it periodically. I really appreciate the website prioritization feature of Kagi … so it’s unfortunate that isn’t compatible.
How verifiable is this? My hobby is researching both the lives of billionaires and, unrelated, precision guided munitions.
Nice! Maybe I’ll finally give Kagi a shot.
Kagi user chiming in here. Have been incredibly happy with the service in terms of search quality and overall usefulness since subscribing. Feels like Google in the early, early days (I was there) before they lost their soul. Their changelog page is instructive; – https://kagi.com/changelog
Kagi has been criticized for removing their list of partners - originally, they admitted to partnering with Yandex, but they recently hid that partnership after receiving backlash. I’m not sure if the changelog will reflect that information, but I am curious to check now.
Kagi keeps getting better and better.
Yeah, I’ve been intrigued by Kagi, but would never use a search engine logged in.
Well it sounds like this is the thing for you! Haha
