My only gripe with Kagi is it requires an account. And a "Trust me bro" that they are not logging search queries, since it's not OSS. Albeit, a throwaway account can be used. And, I love that they accept lightning.

Otherwise, I'm an Orion+ supporter as I believe in a browser like that needs to exist for Apple users. Really like what Vlad has been building overall with the various product suite.

The account thing is also my only concern. Everything else is just great. I have been using for a week+ and now going back to DDG feels like a downgrade.

trust happens with every search company. remember what happened with ddg and microsoft? anyway yeah, keep your privacy stack. use a fingerprint resistent browser like #Mullvad or #LibreWolf and vpn, and just sign up with an email alias, and privacy.com card or btc/lightning for payments and you're gtg

True. Or, take the need for trust side out of the equation and build your own SearX instance, even though sadly its codebase is no longer maintained.

yup. i used to use it. i support the foss, pay for privacy model for exactly this reason and more.
