Kagi has an option to search the Fediverse. This makes it a lot easier than specifying a site in the search query, which would also limit the results to a specific instance.
Why YSK: This lets you easily replace searches like “some topic reddit” with Lemmy!
Can you talk more about this extra private option with anonymous tokens? I haven’t seen this yet.
Sure! It’s what they call Privacy Pass. It’s implemented using an extension that’s available on most browsers (including Tor). The extension uses a session to generate tokens This step is linked to the account. The tokens themselves are not linked to an account, but are used to access Kagi itself afterwards. When you search using Privacy Pass, the extension offers those tokens instead of a cookie, so you lose any user preferences you’ve previously set up. Those searches are not linked to an account.

You can also create an account with a throwaway email and pay with bitcoin, so at that point I think it’s pretty good for anonymity
This is awesome, thanks.
However I would argue that bitcoin is not anonymous, maybe monero but you have to also anonymize the on ramp. Mullvad will let you mail in cash, which I’d say is pretty anonymous.
:P
