The whole point of using Kagi for me is that I've got my search options customised and I'm paying for a service better than the alternatives. The payment privacy aspect of that lives on a completely different layer: you'd need to first solve the KYC -vs- privacy problem, and that's more of a politics problem than tech.
I understand and appreciate what Kagi trying to do. But linking search queries with your real name is huge privacy invasion. Even though Vlad says they do not log queries. Well... Without proof there could be only trust. Decision is up to you.
