They didn't simply rephrase it, they delved into it a bit.
That's totally correct, nice catch!

I hear a lot of good things about kagi but privacy isn't one. They need to record every search and connect it to your account. Duckduckgo is more known for privacy and searches well through tor.
Here are the stats: https://kagi.com/stats
How many are paid vs trial accounts?
We know family doesn't offer a trial nor teams.
126 teams x 5 or 6 members = 1,000 accounts at 10 per day 10k
4500 family plans: most will take the 20 a month plan 100k
45000 individuals lets say they are all paid most on the 5 dollar plans lets assume on average 6.50 is earned 300k
Then you have orion+ members at 2000 giving an extra $15 per account. 30k
They probably make 450k a month
They have 19 employees on linkedin and they are listed at under 50 everywhere else. Lets give them 25 employees at 100k average salary which would be 2.5 million in salaries which might be low.
Add on costs to actually run the website (paid search, servers, office costs) which hopefully cost less than 3.5 million.. the rest is profit.
I'd say they are doing well enough. My average of 5/6 per team might be much higher if they have a few 100+ sized teams. I think the mode would be 5/6 regardless of the average.

Looking at their privacy policy they state the following:
> We may store web requests made by user browser temporarily, with strict retention periods, for debugging purposes, and in a manner that they are not linked to an account.

A few minutes ago (22:48 UTC), I got three emails from HIBP about accounts of mine breached on the Internet Archive. Troy is quick! And I'm surprised the author of that alert() actually had the data as well as followed through
Bit of a shame the emails contain an ad for a password manager, saying there's two easy steps to become more secure: Step 1: use our password manager (fair enough), "Step 2: Enable 2 factor authentication and store the codes inside your [password manager]" ehh now it's back to 1 factor or am I missing something?
Edit: according to https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/internet-arch... (via https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41793669), Troy Hunt / HIBP already received and verified this "three days ago" as of yesterday 6pm AoE
I think it is safer to have 2FA in your password manager than not using 2FA at all. Because even if they got your password, if they don't have access to your password manager they can't login.
If you protect your password manager with a yubikey or any other hardware key, then your 2FA inside your password manager is quite secure and convenient. But this is very individual, what your threat model is and how secure you want/need to be.

They also added gemini 1.5 pro to their chat assistant.
However, it seems like it isn't added to the select menu yet, but it can be accessed by changing sub_mode to 8 in the url query.
I’ve been really liking the quick answers[1] that Kagi added. The doc gives some info as to what triggers it so it seems less random.
Thanks for linking to the docs. I really like this feature, but as you said, it felt like it showed up at random
> Map that port to 192.168.1.252
What's that supposed to do?
> If your NAT router/gateway keeps this port open and you are sure you want to filter it (potential interference with ISPs pushing firmware updates), try the following. Navigate to your router's admin interface and disable TR-069. If that does not work, look under "port forwarding", or "virtual servers", and forward the port to an unused local IP address, like (192.168.1.252)
From the source that was linked. So the original author doesn't recommend 192.168.1.252 but just uses it as an example

Every sacrifice we make for convenience will be financially beneficial to the vendor, so we need to factor them out of the equation. Engineered context does mean a lot more tokens, so it will be more business for the vendor, but the vendors know there is much more money in saving your thoughts.
Privacy-first intelligence requires these two things at the bare minimum:
1) Your thoughts stay on your device
2) At worst, your thoughts pass through a no-logging environment on the server. Memory cannot live here because any context saved to a db is basically just logging.
3) Or slightly worse, your local memory agent only sends some prompts to a no-logging server.
The first two things will never be offered by the current megacapitalist.
Finally, the developer community should not be adopting things like Claude memory because we know. We’re not ignorant of the implications compared to non-technical people. We know what this data looks like, where it’s saved, how it’s passed around, and what it could be used for. We absolutely know better.
