Turns out Kagi does do advertising

They promote their search engine but their users don't get to see ads. I don't know what's wrong about that. Every company advertises with its products. I don't see what's reprehensible about that.

We did not say we maintain anonmity, but privacy, which are two different things. For example. your parents may know everything about you, yet still respect your privacy.

They're right, anonymity and privacy are two different things. Since you have to pay to use Kagi, you're not anonymous. But they allegedly don't know what you as the user search for when using their search engine. So they're being honest here and how can honesty be bad here? Anyways, we're on [email protected], not [email protected] or whatever.

“AI is mentioned zero times”

While I still give you this one, they're technically correct. The word "AI" isn't there but they mention AI features, haha. It's a bit debatable since Vlad said "kagi.com" - which doesn't mention AI or AI tools. Only when you go to the pricing page there are mentions of AI tools.

I get that but it's a dick move by the author of that article to publicly speak bad about a product and then don't even wanna listen to what that person who made that product has to say to defend it. Especially if there's some false information that get's spread by that article. I'm not saying anything written in that article is true or false - just explaining the situation from Vlad's view.

They allegedly don't know their user's search queries. That's how it's allegedly private.

Well, yes, I agree on that. Just wanted to name another option in case that's okay for the OP. I host my own instance on my private NAS and I absolutely love it. :)

Wasn't Ghostery bought by some Chinese company? China and privacy don't fit together.

I second Nine. It's a great app but has its price. Comes with a free trial for I think 14 days.

FairEmail only supports IMAP and POP3 but these protocols are disabled according to the OP. So this sadly isn't an option. Very good email app though. I can recommend it.

No, it doesn't. I just tested it. I restarted my phone to make sure Bitwarden is closed, Opened the browser and opened a website where I have an account. In the login mask where I was prompted to insert my credentials the little popup appeared and when I tapped on it Bitwarden opened. It wanted me to enter my Master-Password so I did just that and it opened the DB to offer me the entries for auto-fill. You can even set a preference to immediately lock the DB after a single use and to always prompt the Master-Password (+ 2FA (optionally)) if you want.

Edit: Hell, you could even make it completely sign you out after every single use so you'd have to re-enter your email address, Master-Password and TOTP for 2FA. Not even KeePass offers you that level of security because you don't need a username for your DB.

I don't know about iOS but if you use an Android you can try Bitwarden. It detects credential fields and when you tap in them a little popup appers that offers Bitwarden to auto-fill these fields. When you then tap on that it opens Bitwarden and it offers all fitting entries from your vault. Select the one you want to use and then it fills the fields.
Maybe that's what you're looking for? I really love that feature.

Since every client of Bitwarden makes a copy of the whole database on the server when it syncs, it's not like all your credentials are lost when the server gets unavailable. You can make an export of your database on that client and import it on another instance. This said you already have a built-in backup feature.

Actually it's not that big of a problem. All clients make a local copy of the server's database when they sync. So even when the server is unavailable you still keep your local copy on your client. Every client of Bitwarden offers the option to export your whole database. This means you could easily use that to import your exported database to any other instance.
The only "big problem" I see is to learn how to self-host. Most people are not tech-savvy so they don't know how to do it and don't even want to learn it.
