    How terrible that you have to pay for a product you use

    No one wanting to pay for anything is what got us into this mess in the first place

      I was thinking about the aspect of privacy. Not only do you need a user, you also have to give them your payment details.

      And don’t get me started on their “300 searches a month”-bullshit. If I pay for 300 searches, I want my 300 searches. Regardless of how long it takes me to use it.

        Kagi has established Privacy Pass which perfectly meets the need of balancing paid search with privacy. If you have a better fix I’m sure they’d love to hear about it on their feedback forum.

        ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

        As a someone who averages >1000 searches/month, I burned through the 300/month tier pretty quickly. They’re kind enough to credit you if you don’t use their service in a given month, which is already uncommon in the subscription business model.
