You have also implemented a ban on any contribution from a VPN without announcing it. It has been very annoying to figure out.

Please do announce these kind of changes and limitations you implement publicly unless you absolutely cannot.

SOcial MEdia, like advertising on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Twitter/X etc.

I followed them on Instagram for some reason 😅 I want to support them, but I don’t really like their message.

That’s awesome! How do you use Topaz in this flow?

They are plentiful and for rent in Oslo; you can join strangers or book one for your party of guests.

It costs around $18 for a single ticket, or $10 if you’re a member. $250 to rent a floating sauna with room for 12, and options for smaller / larger. All sessions for two hours.

No it isn’t. He for example evaluate that Kagi and Marginalia get the same score if you have to read as far down as to the 10th result for Kagi, while Marginalia has no answer. How is that the same score? There is no explanation. There is a lot of text, and then in the end he has made some subjective choices.

It will be interesting to see what the company that buys all their data will do with it.

This was really annoying in windows 10, but in windows 11 I can’t remember the last time I had to go into control panels. I don’t do too much odd stuff, but still.

You can pay with bitcoin, which might help keeping the account entirely anonymous for some.

Yeah, you may be fine with the $5 plan, but that’s the lowest tier available.

Afaik they are not really running a profit yet, just expanding, so that’s an eye opener to how expensive it is to run a search business and how much value Google and others estimate they get from your personal information.

For now though their user base seems fairly much leaning towards business users that can defend this expense as part of becoming more effective professionally. Hopefully over time they’ll grow large enough to provide cheaper plans for regular persons while staying privacy focused and ad free.

Yeah there are some good solutions to achieve this, I’m a big fan of the libredirect project, but currently I’m just setting up the redirects I want directly in Kagi so any URLs in the search results are already rewritten to my liking.
