Tried it. You don't get better quality of anything. You just get to pay someone to collect your search history under an account with PII and payment info also associated. You have to login each time you search stuff in private browsing. Very annoying when I go back to a tab or back to search results and I need to login to see them. It is a worse experience and I have to pay for it and I can't use cash, coin, giftcards,etc...
I think they wanted to emulate proton maybe? But they don't have a free tier with at least ddg like experience and charge for premium features. Only people with a lot of disposable income who really care about privacy but also trust a company to not associate their info with their search history will use this.

That drove me crazy with Neeva.com, too, and I actually suggested to them that they could offer a URL with a pre-shared key in it that I could use for incognito windows, like https://search.example.com/?login=edf91f14-21d9-40d1-ae96-9086bc65360d&q=%s https://search.example.com/?login=edf91f14-21d9-40d1-ae96-90... or (arguably superior) https://edf91f14-21d9-40d1-ae96-9086bc65360d.search.example.com/?q=%s https://edf91f14-21d9-40d1-ae96-9086bc65360d.search.example.... They still haven't fixed that :-(
- freediver 4y agoKagi search extensions (open source, available on all browers) allows you to search in private windows. https://help.kagi.com/kagi/getting-started/setting-default.html#browser_extension https://help.kagi.com/kagi/getting-started/setting-default.h... In additional Kagi implements the same thing you suggested basically, called a private session token that allows you to be logged in by appending it to the URL if you do not want to use the extension.
