how do you verify privacy without access to the source code? open source != privacy but open source helps a ton to verify it
btw the kagi people have been saying they’ll open source it at some point for ages, and in my experience those promises are usually just promises. I’ll believe it when i see it
They’ve been open sourcing parts of it the entire time. Looks to me like they’re doing what they said.
You can easily monitor network connections to see what addresses its sending packets to. You can’t collect information without sending it somewhere. Run Firefox through a proxy, and you’ll see it is far from private. The source code will show you what they’re sending, but nothing about what they’re doing with it after it’s received.
