At least for iOS/Mac but 99.999% sure for other browsers as well, they could write an extension that rewrites "https://www.google.com/search?q=some%20search https://www.google.com/search?q=some%20search" into their own search url right? Then keep Google as default search engine. Installing an extension sounds like a hurdle people paying for search are willing and able to jump over.
- remedan 3y agoKagi already has a browser extension that does one thing only--switches your default search engine to Kagi.
- tokamak-teapot 3y agoThey do have a Safari extension on iOS, which directs searches to kagi.com
- ziftface 3y agoI love kagi but I hate this. It's not their fault, it's just a limitation of the os but it's such a hassle when you have to solve a Google captcha to get kagi results. I'm considering just removing that from my phone and switching back to Google there.
- tokamak-teapot 3y agoWhat makes you get a Google captcha? My default search is set to DDG. Perhaps that’s why I don’t get one?
- pzmarzly 3y agoYou can switch default search engine to DDG or Ecosia, Kagi extension will still redirect you away. Or use extensions like xSearch or xEngine, they seem to be better at redirecting
- nunez 3y agoThat's exactly what I do. I feed searches to Ecosia and the Kagi extension handles the rewrite. Works well on Mac and iOS. I only use Google explicitly with the !g operator (which I use sparingly, and often get the same results or slightly worse) or for Google Images (which are better for now)
