I apologize if this is old news, but I just noticed it. It looks like Kagi has added Fediverse Forums as a default Web search option.

This is what their Privacy Pass extension is for. Once it verifies you as an user, it doles out a bunch of generic "arcade tokens", which don't have any identifying information. You lose Kagi's personalization features while using them, but your searches aren't tied to any account beyond just "Kagi", so you and everybody else using the privacy extension are the same person.
At least, as I understand it.
Yeah someone else told me about that, looks like it was only rolled out a few weeks ago so in my defense it’s pretty new information lol Looks legit though! Absolutely has me reconsidering that concern now.
