I just paid to use a search engine with #bitcoin on kagi.com

Like a psychopath.

Who would pay for search when you can use google FoR fReE?!

Me. And maybe you?

Serious question: what guarantees of #privacy do we have on #Kagi, aside from the privacy policy? Which is the weakest assurance.

(As in, is Kagi audited)

I would say, as with every other webservice: none except of trust.

Brave > Kagi

Also sad that the Orion browser has failed to deliver a solid option for a Webkit browser with extensions

if there's an ad-free option I'll take it.

And when I say ad-free I mean ad-free, not ad-optional.

Much like hardware wallets having a "bitcon-only firmware" having an ad-free option is a not enough to not cloud your judgment, incentives and focus.

I've been able to block them manually with AdGuard 😈

They need lightning login rather than having to associate email.

Sounds really interesting, would definitely start using it if it could be used without an account πŸ₯²

Just use a burner email

Still ties all my activity to one specific account. Thus links all my devices and search activity.

yeah, that definitely sucks, I thought the same earlier; I might get a couple different accounts so it's not all tied to the same one

Would be really interesting to see it behind proxnut paywall. No account needed pay per search.

#[2]​ just do it, pleaseeee 😁

How much for a search?

Max 1.5 cents

So 50 SATs?

Currently yes

It says "The average person searches Google three or four times per day. (90-120 times per month)", which costs $5/month for personal use.

NO FUCKING WAAAAY (Definitely I google more than 10000 times per month)

nostr spoiled me, now everytime i see that i have to use my email for a site it just turns me off

What is the value? No censorship?

Better results, no censorship (according to them), advanced features like lenses (custom search filters), focus on privacy, very fast and lightweight ui, ai page conclusion, and more

But most important is the better search result quality imo

Already am a paying subscriber but itβ€˜s so great that bitcoin/lightning payment is now possible!

Any thoughts on "Txtnet" browser? It doesn't use interest or wifi , it's uses text message.

Can't believe we made it happen lol

YesπŸ’ͺ

Long time kagi user. Their browser is pretty decent on Mac too.

Just checked it out. Asks for KYC.

That is going to be a challenge. Privacy focused people already use hardened browsers, alias identities, containers/sandboxes, duckduckgo. Thusbwill be interesting to watch.

I'd consider if I could use my nostr account and pay with lightning.
