Freediver (founder) is US based and Kagi is an US entity, so must comply with any warrants there.
But I guess they could set up a Serbian subsidiary?

What's wrong with Yandex? I think every possible criticism of Yandex I can think of could just as easily be leveled at Google or Bing.
but surely you realize that people going to kagi also don’t like google or bing.

If the goal truly is privacy, and that's why you're adding cryptocurrency options, then adding a middleman like "proxysto.re" or any other, then you're not giving users the privacy you say you want to give. You really need to handle that on your end, if that's something you want to offer for the purpose of privacy. Take a look at how Mullvad implemented it, which I guess is where you got the "cash in a letter" method…
Yes, and I’ve talked with Mullvad about it before. The main problem for us is that we cannot exchange XMR for fiat legally, in Portugal, and we have no costs that can be paid with XMR, at the moment. ProxyStore should work well as a proxy because they receive XMR anonymously and pay us in EUR for an account number. We don’t know who paid for what and don’t care (we also don’t know that after 14 days, Mollie doesn’t k…
Aren't there some EU countries that also have tax incentives (Estonia comes to mind) ? Could be wrong
For example someone brought up making your UI and whatnot easier to use for someones "grandparents". What if you included a "grandpa" mode (you dont need to call it that specifically) that simplies everything and makes it super straight forward to use. I can see technically inclined people buying a subscription for their aging families to help them avoid clicking on useless (or dangerous) crap.
You could also do something similar to Kagi SmallWeb but specifically for EU based stuff.
Currently the UI is not bad but for some reason throws off my BS filter. I think it might be the spacing and (maybe) lines between the results - it sort of makes it resemble the paid text ads inserted into Google Search?
Nice - I like this. Especially that I can also use it via API too and that expectations are limits are set out clearly (which seem very generous). On limits - consider changing the short limit on this: > searches to 1 per second, 30 per minute, and 1800 per hour. to 5 per 5 seconds or 10/10. That still works out to one per second but users are less likely to accidentally hit it with two requests that have similar tim…
Good point. We have never had any reports of customers legitimately hitting these, but we can probably loosen them up a bit.
Those would be completely cached/pre-rendered, so the cost would be very low and there will be no potential for abuse. And yet the visitors could at least get some idea about the quality of your search engine.

I also don't use Kagi because of Yandex, and my reason is that it's a Russian company, owned by people close to the Russian government.
