I have Kagi set to redirect Reddit to Redlib and it works great.
I would love if someone could answer this with quick examples. What exactly are people watching on YouTube that can’t be replaced elsewhere? If I’m needing informational content I will generally seek it out in textual format, as it’s painful to sit through a video on that sort of thing. And if it’s entertainment, there are many other options.
edit: Genuine appreciation to those who responded. It’s great to get alternative perspectives.
First of all, you can pay with crypto and use a burner email, but secondly, they don’t link searches to your payment or sign in. (Assuming of course you take their word for it, but that’s the same for every service that you do not host or compile yourself, and for which you’ve also read the entire source code yourself.)
I’m not saying people should use Kagi, I’m merely pointing out you can’t claim it’s “misleading and not private” without providing some sort of proof.
At best you can say you can’t verify for yourself that they are indeed private as they claim.
So all of your internet searches are tied to one kagi account?
Kagi states in their privacy policy, “To ensure your privacy and security, we don’t monitor, log or store your queries or associate them with your account”.
Of course you have to believe them, but that’s the same for every service that you do not host or compile yourself, and for which you’ve read the entire source code yourself.
Kagi isn’t private and it is misleading to advertise it as such.
What is your reasoning for this statement?
Going directly from Kagi’s own privacy policy, “To ensure your privacy and security, we don’t monitor, log or store your queries or associate them with your account”.
Of course you have to believe them, but that’s the same for every service that you do not host or compile yourself, and for which you’ve read the entire source code yourself.
If your sender sends an unencrypted message, yes Proton can see the plain text as would be expected. (Note, sending via TLS doesn’t count as an encrypted email.) However according to their many audits their process is to immediately encrypt with zero-knowledge encryption in such a way that only you can access.
If you can’t trust their published open source code and their multiple audits, then sure, you should look for alternate solutions.

For anyone else, it’s this video. I’m 5 minutes in and it’s talking about how SMTP isn’t encrypted so Proton can read unencrypted email. Yeah, no shit…
Can we create a situation where brute force is unfeasible while using 6 digits PIN?
According to this comment from GrapheneOS, the latest Pixels and iPhones are not brute forceable with a 6+ digit PIN:
Pixel 6 and later or the latest iPhones are the only devices where a random 6 digit PIN can’t be brute forced in practice due to the secure element.
If your password was “is this necessary though” it’s easy to remember and not difficult at all to type
