On: Enhancements to the Kagi Search Experience

You can POST it, and some privacy oriented web tools do that instead of GET, but the reason, as explained elsewhere, is not to hide it from NSA (GET parameters and POST are equally easy/hard to intercept), but to protect against other persons who has access to ones unencrypted computer (spouse, kids, colleagues).

That'd protect against other people who have access to the computer but not the technical skill to install any kind of logger.

Couldn't you also just open an incognito window?

I'm not suggesting it is a good idea, or necessary for Kagi or anyone else to do it.

I'm just explaining the reason why some does it and saying it doesn't help against intermediaries who can eavesdrop.

Im fact I think I was tempted to write my exact thoughts about it yesterday but dropped it.
