I am trying to capture costs for starting into homelab/selfhosting.

For me, it was more the quality of search than privacy concerns. The latter I could mitigate, as you wrote.

But, oh man, the search quality on Kagi is so much better than everywhere else. The ability to just outright block domains in results, chef's kiss.
