I want to start by inviting everyone who are looking into this post to check the git commit linked before reading and after that read their current page, it will make more sense.

I think most people don't understand the fact that Kagi is meta-search engine which literally collect the results of other search engines and display it and add very small amount of results from their index(tecilis).

They are starting to act shady this year(check the attached git commit to see their changes to their documentation page).

People basically pay them to search Yandex and Brave for them.

Before anyone say but privacy, they are closed source and there is a better open source meta search engines which actually respect your privacy and need your donations more than Kagi shareholders.

Open source alternative:

SearXNG.

You specifically stated that "They deleted the fact that they are a metasearch engine".

I specifically didn't.
