From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

A search company which requires an account with your actual email? And doesn't accept anonymous payments?
It's fine as one of the options, but if there's no option for tokenized identity (that's easy to change when the plan runs out) and anonymous payments, it's a data collecting operation like any other.
See Mullvad and PPQ for how it's done correctly.
Kagi actually does have an anonymous authentication option. https://blog.kagi.com/kagi-privacy-pass
Glad that they added it, it wasn't there when I tested them. Why does such a simple thing require a browser extension though
Because it’s not private if it needs that level of access.
