I wrote an article comparing privacy oriented search engines' privacy policies. Would love your thoughts. (www.ioslife.dev)

I want to reiterate that I have no affiliation with Kagi or any other search engine, I currently don't even pay for Kagi. I am just a human on the hunt for the best search engine to protect my family's privacy.

That said, I just saw your update regarding Sentry.

Looking at Kagi's Privacy Policy, there are two things to say in response to

It states that Kaji is the best when actually they are clearly the worst, they do record your IP to deliver their services and they do share your data with a notorious 3rd party tracking company- sentry.io.

"We do not log or store your IP address. Your IP address is used only temporarily when enriching location/maps searches, and is not shared with any other party."

"Anonymous logs are shared with Sentry when bugs, crashes, or warnings occur for debugging purposes."

Also:

If you pay them then everything you do on their site is linked directly do you. I.e. zero privacy.

"Searches are anonymous and private to you. Kagi does not log and associate searches with an account."
