Makes claims about being faster and more leightweight than Chrome or Firefox. Looks interesting, but seems to be another MacOS and iOS exclusive app, so I won't be able to use it. It's a shame that the developer chose native over cross-platform and the FAQ doesn't mention any plans to support other platforms.
- spiderice 5y ago> It's a shame that the developer chose native over cross-platform As I'm sure the developers will read these comments, not it isn't. Thank you for choosing to go native. There are dozens of other non-native, cross-platform browsers. Why would we need another one?
- jonpurdy 5y agoPrecisely. I seek out native Mac apps and actively avoid cross-platform junk, since it is slower and more bloated, and doesn’t match the native UI (though Apple itself breaks its own conventions these days). So this is a major selling feature!
- j-james 5y agoThe founder has expressed interest in developing a Windows and Linux version once they're out of beta and "once they can afford to hire 20 more engineers". Linux would probably come first: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28803789 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28803789 I think focusing on macOS first is a good move. macOS users are currently stuck between a lagging-behind-standards Safari and a memory-consuming Chrome (not sure how Firefox performs), and there is more of a market for paid software (which is Kagi's business model).
