#232As a European-first kinda person, I think we're good with Kagi?
Kagi is a great product if you're happy with them! Uruky is for people who want ad-free, private, and personalized search, and no AI, while stimulating the European economy. That's not everyone and that's fine!

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"
Thanks, I've pushed a fix for this!

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?
This Reuters article provides some useful context about Yandex: https://www.reuters.com/markets/deals/after-months-negotiati....
Yandex was split for a while into a Russian-controlled part and an independent part in the Netherlands, controlled by the original co-founder, which later become Nebius AI. Nowadays, these entities are completely detached, and Arkady Volozh has renounced his Russian citizenship.

Kagi seems unfairly picked on here. Lots of people do business with Russia. Multiple EU countries import gas from Russia which, the UK just dropped sanctions on Russian oil, lots of countries do not have sanctions on Russia at all so buying things from those countries might involve money ending up going to Russia. On the other hand Kagi is an American company so is at the very least abiding by US sanctions.
I'm not claiming it's an infallible system and that no single cent of my money goes to Russia. I just do what's within my powers based on the information I have.

No i mean i'm surprised they support putin and pay yandex. But what is that pro russian employee thing?

#240This 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.
Thanks for your answer! Makes me curious how do you defend against people simply bruteforcing or guessing the account numbers.
