This is really nice, my biggest hesitation with paid search engines is that by paying I'm giving away my identify and linking that to my searches. This seem to fix that!

I find it difficult to wrap my head around how Privacy Pass actually works. It seems pretty involved. Kagi‘s implementor actually explained it over on hackernews, but that‘s only a summary.
Since it‘s an RFC standard, I don’t doubt that it works, but I hope someone smarter than me actually checks Kagi‘s open-sourced client code, which should be enough to ensure anonymity, according to the standard.
I'm with you. I couldn't begin to audit something like that, and this article is lengthy (though some of the handshake graphics are kinda funny). The amount of detail in this, what I assume is a summary, left me a bit lost.
