Have tried Kagi for a while as a beta user. It generally works fine, but I am just reminded every time when I try to do a search via Private Browsing - and Kagi, a subscription service, will apparently ask me to login - that each of my search history will be able to be linked to an individual.

Then it's definitely not what I want.

Also a beta user. I wonder if the final version you’ll be able to stay pseudoanonymous - pay with crypto, no email, etc (kinda like Mullvad).

Not defending them and also dislike this (but can’t think of a way involving payments which doesn’t do it). I do find their privacy policy quite clear and transparent - https://kagi.com/privacy

And also let’s not kid ourselves - I would guess this is still likely more privacy-forward than a Private Session on Google. Would be surprised if Google isn’t using every potential signal to fingeprint you and link back that session back to some other login.
