I agree that third party stores selling tokens without any account at all would be the ideal solution, but without an account you'd be missing out on many of the features that make kagi worth using like being able to remove certain domains from results or prioritizing types of results over others.

Add the ability to export your account config (yaml?) and use it with privacy pass. Maybe even sync it with git.

To avoid fingerprinting by config, have a page where the community can share and vote on best configs, then clone and use a popular one that suits your needs.

This defeats the purpose of Privacy Pass. Something similar is discussed in the post: https://blog.kagi.com/kagi-privacy-pass#:~:text=customizatio...

Their suggestion is that when using Privacy Pass you'd also send "&config=XX" where XX is an ID of a publicly shared config, so that you get the customisation of whatever config you choose without tying the config to yourself, just tying it to the searches you're doing with Privacy Pass.

So while it does add a data point that could help track you, it's not defeating the whole point.

Though the post doesn't touch on "community configs", it does touch on "the ten most popular configs", which would seem to be similar enough for this discussion.
