    Just a quick question. It may have been you, or others, that I have seen writing “kagis” and I can’t seem to find a good definition. What does that mean?

      Last time I asked it’s like saying you “googled” something on some alt search engine

      Just searching Kagi, like googling on Google.

      Kagi provides a subscription-based service; the user pays a subscription fee, rather than the search engine generating a return via data-mining and profiling users, which is something that I’d wanted for some time; at some point in the past year or so someone pointed me to it. It also provides some other features, but what I really care about is the no-log aspect.

      If Google would sell some kind of analogous subscription for YouTube (rather than just ad-free service with their “YouTube Premium” stuff) I’d happily get “YouTube Private” as well, as I think that that’s probably the other major source of online data-mining that I very regularly use and don’t have a great way of dealing with today. But as things stand, that’s not something that they have on offer.
