I’m using it and never going back.
It’s not just the privacy aspect, but the fact that most results in other search engines suck. The first two pages would usually be ads - first the bought ones, then company websites and copywritten blogs. I get that way less with kagi. I find useful stuff faster and my brain is less polluted.

The results are very interesting. For me, the most unique thing about my browser was that I had two system languages, and so the accept-language header was very unique.
I now use vanadium (graphene OS), which simply sends made up values for a lot of headers, and so makes fingerprinting harder.
In general, you should try to be as “normal” as possible, use standard settings for everything, just accept English, etc…
