That’s a valid criticism.
On the other side: Pay for a year at once and get 3600 searches/year. The rollover also doesn’t happen, but the effect is drastically reduced. Also get a discount overall.
I’m not saying that kagi is perfect, but fuck google sideways. Eat the rich. Pay for the product or you are the product.
Depends on your requirements. The faiphone 5 has 8GB of RAM, which is more than enough for what I’m doing with a smartphone.
Oh course I totally understand what you are talking about though, for many users (mobile gamers, people who don’t mind google/apple telemetry, etc.) 8GB is a bare minimum.
