Response from Vlad (Kagi team): “It is easy to get distracted. Google, Microsoft, Mojeek and Yandex all may not align with our mission to humanize the web in their current form. And some of these companies (may have) had far more shadier practices, depending on your point of view. But now by using their technolgy, they are contributing to our mission. By using their technology, we do not need to necessarly align with their business practices, leadership or mission. If someone does not agree with their government, that does not mean they should not be using the roads and other infrastructure of their country. If on the other hand we worried about all these things like it is suggested here, Kagi would not be possible. And what about Javascript? Should everyone stop using it completely because it was invented by the very same person they may not like on a personal level? Clearly these are arguments that go nowhere and benefit nobody. We are staying focused on being in the business of providing best search in the world and showing that a paid business model is the only sane way of doing this. Happy New Year!”
