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.

Why would anyone support US companies when they have been hoarding data for decades? things specially concerning at current state of the country.

I try to avoid US companies as well when possible, I just avoid Russian ones even more.

I live in the EU and I use kagi, but I think you fail to understand why kagi is good and useful. In the end of the day I need a search engine to find stuff and kagi is better than google for the things I and my AI agents are searching for. If you don't get that no amount of better privacy is worth my time as a person as shit searches mean agents don't works so well a.k.a more expensive or my room becomes toastier for…

Have you tried Uruky and found it to be lacking? Totally agree with you, but I don't see many people here saying they've had a bad experience with this. (I haven't used it)

To be fully hones no I haven't, but for me to switch I need some proof that I would have good experience. Like sell me on having good experience and I will try your product for a week, have a good experience and I will use your product from now on. But I. Their case most likely not, the thing I use kagi most for is ai agents with kagi search it works insanely well for me.

OK bit more trial and error later I worked out a curl command that doesn't trip this. https://pastebin.com/BNRBfYFf Still not entirely sure what about the original request trigger it. Think it was something around the Sec-Fetch-* headers that copying a request from browser via copy cURL included

Sorry! You can use the incognito token (from the incognito URL) in order to not have to send the cookie over. If you were trying too aggressively to search, you could've been rate-limited for a few minutes.

Good to know about the incognito toke - helpful.

Yes, I saw the 3 auth try mentioned in the faq after this, that must have been what I was hitting with the experimenting. Anyway all good now

Hi. A have a user report, after visiting the site it automatically switched to a language based on my system locale, but not on my UI language or keyboard preference. So it is possible to visit the site from some guest PC for example where locale would be something unfamiliar. And the language selector is down at the very bottom (I guarantee that my mom for example would never find it) it is plain text and it is in t…

Thanks for reporting this. Do you happen to know what your browser sends in the `Accept-Language` header?

I think this is what is sent from my side:

"name": "Accept-Language", "value": "en-US,uk-UA;q=0.9,uk;q=0.8,en;q=0.7"

"name": "User-Agent", "value": "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:151.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/151.0"

Nice project! It lacks two things that are very useful : website blocking, and !hashbangs like DDG.

I'm not sure if this is trolling, but we offer both. Even custom bangs, and you can also use Kagi's Bangs: https://github.com/kagisearch/bangs

This was not trolling at all, I didn't see these features on the website. Amazing, thanks for the quick response!

Kagi -> Yandex -> Putin (through taxes), it's not really direct IMO

Yandex these days is pretty much directly Kremlin, so it's not "through taxes". That being said Kagi -> Yandex hop does indeed make it indirect. (I too have stopped using Kagi after I found out that they pay Yandex and employ people who support Russian war).

Wait what? They employ pro russian employees and use yandex?

Not really. That means you give your customers the code to use under your current restrictions, and after a specific period, they can use it under the open-source license of your choice as well.

I see. We'll look into considering doing both, then. PolyForm Shield for the current code, with BUSL to transition into AGPLv3 after 2 or 3 years. Do you think that would work well?

Yeah. That would be great!

This intrigued me and I topped up an account. Is there no password? Anyone could "steal" my account number and kick me out?

There is no password, just like Mullvad. You should "protect" your account number like you would a password, but also, you can just discard it and change to another one in a month, for example.
