- SV_BubbleTime 4mo agoI’ve seen this, but can’t understand it. - they issue you a code when you are logged in - they track that code for multiple use - all they can do is claim that the code was securely generated and it isn’t just an API KEY to your account… but they’re already telling you it is database tracked How can you have any even the 1/2 best proof it isn’t just an API KEY that directly links to your account? I see no trust path other than “us, bro”.
- SolarNet 4mo agoI mean its as private as VPNs are and people pay for those too.
- nsagent 4mo agoMullvad lets you have completely anonymous accounts. No log VPNs like ProtonVPN have third party verification (though some metadata has been shared with auhtorities). Does Kagi have the equivalent of either of these privacy mechanisms? Even with the limitations of the ProtonVPN approach, that would be an improvement. As far as I've seen Kagi has no equivalent: it's closed source and has no regular third party audits for privacy.
- account42 4mo agoExcept for a VPN the the VPN company only sees who you are connecting to and usually not the decrypted HTTPS streams. That's defense in depth.
