Introducing Privacy Pass authentication for Kagi Search | Kagi Blog (blog.kagi.com)

Today we are announcing a new privacy feature coming to Kagi Search. Privacy Pass is an authentication protocol first introduced by Davidson and recently standardized by the IETF as RFCs. At the same time, we are announcing the immediate availability of Kagi’s Tor onion service.

In general terms, Privacy Pass allows “Clients” (generally users) to authenticate to “Servers” (like Kagi) in such a way that while the Server can verify that the connecting Client has the right to access its services, it cannot determine which of its rightful Clients is actually connecting. This is particularly useful in the context of a privacy-respecting paid search engine, where the Server wants to ensure that the Client can access the services, and the Client seeks strong guarantees that, for example, the searches are not associated with them.

Kagi keeps getting better and better.

And it's already the best search engine I've used in a while!

Kagi user chiming in here. Have been incredibly happy with the service in terms of search quality and overall usefulness since subscribing. Feels like Google in the early, early days (I was there) before they lost their soul. Their changelog page is instructive; -- https://kagi.com/changelog

Sweet. Time to enable this right away. Been using privacy pass for a while now, and quite like it. Same can be said for kagi

I installed it, but I'm probably just going to use it periodically. I really appreciate the website prioritization feature of Kagi ... so it's unfortunate that isn't compatible.

I was annoyed that I read the blog post and installed the extension, only to find that caveat right on the blog post footer. Feels like it should have been bolded right at the top.

This finally gave me the push to switch to Orion browser after putting it off for a long time

Nice! Maybe I'll finally give Kagi a shot.
