The Kagi paid search engine has added an even more private way to search. He new feature, called privacy passIt allows you to search without tracking you.
The privacy pass is based on An authentication protocol Standardized by the Internet Engineering Task Group. It works by allowing users to authenticate servers like Kagi generating tokens, which Kagi says they are “indistinguishable from a randomly generated token from the point of view of the server.” The server can say that a token has been generated, but cannot link it to other user -generated tokens during this time, or at any other time.
“The privacy pass adds another layer of trust: we can verify that you have the right to find without knowing who you are looking for,” says Kagi. “It is one thing to promise that we do not track you; It is another to do it technically impossible. “You can read more information about the privacy pass of the Company website.
To enable the privacy pass, you simply have to alternate the function within Kagi. It is currently available in your Orion browser for macos, iOS and iPados, along with the Kagi application for Android. You can also find it within the extension of the Kagi browser for Firefox and Chrome.
Kagi will now also allow you to access the service directly from Tor with the onion address: KAGI2PV5BDCXXQLA5ITJZE2CGDCCUWEPT5UB6PATVMVN3QGMGJD6VID.onion. However, the company points out that “without the privacy pass, you must still log in to its Kagi account to perform searches, which does them in theory to a single account.”
For now, Kagi will only include a privacy pass for users who subscribe to their professional plan of $ 10 / month and a definitive plan of $ 25 / month. It is also available with your family and team plans. Kagi says that it is not yet offered in his free plan or starting subscription of $ 5 / month “due to technical limitations.” But in case you forget to use your subscription, Kagi recently announced that he will not charge him for it.
