I switched to Safari last year. The battery life improvements over Chrome makes it worth. It’s been a solid browser experience and I haven’t gone back to Chrome for anything. I wish I could add Kagi as a default search.

If you use Kagi for search, I'm assuming you've used their Orion browser [0], where you can set Kagi as default. Any reason why you didn't like it? [0] https://browser.kagi.com/ https://browser.kagi.com/

  I use kagi and had not even heard that they have their own browser. Why would why use that over one of the "big three" (FF/Chrome/Safari) with serious corporate security teams backing them? edit: Okay so it's webkit based, mac only, with built-in adblocking, which sounds nice, but honestly the idea that it can easily install extensions from both chrome and firefox sounds like a security nightmare to me. The fact that the only mention of security in their FAQ is to conflate it with privacy "Most browsers regularly "phone home" dozens or even hundreds times. Each request poses a security risk" is a red flag IMHO

    Why use kagi instead of the big 3? Google, Bing, Yandex? The companies with serious corporate security?

      Much better search results. I recently been switching over myself.

    Telemetry can be a security risk from a standpoint of exposing PII to a hostile actor. Full text for reference: "Each request poses a security risk, no matter what information it sends, by potentially exposing your IP address and your browser fingerprint. Telemetry can also inadvertently leak personally identifiable information or corporate intelligence."

Which Adblock do you use?

  I’ve been using 1Blocker for a few years. If anyone knows a better one, please chime in. I like that it works on iOS and Mac Safari.
