    Only thing holding me back from Kagi is the impossibility of privacy and a credit card associated with my user.

      That’s understandable, but you’re nowhere near private with Google either. They definitely know who you are, even if you never log in. At least with Kagi they’re not logging everything and keeping a record of everything you do. They do have an option to enable history, but I have it turned off.

        Actually, that “setting” is there just for show. It can’t be turned on. Underneath the setting, it says

        Currently this option can not be turned on. Kagi does not save any searches by default. In the future we may add features that will utilize your search history and then we will allow you to enable this.

      Any chance they accept gift cards or a temporary Visa you can charge up? If not, that would be a bummer.

        For sure. They don’t care how the money arrives. Tell them whatever lies you need to tell them as long as the credit card number matches up.
