Curious, I just tried it for the first time. Install Kagi Extension for Safari from the App Store, open up Safari, go to Manage Extensions, turn it on. Then tap it in the extensions menu and accept permissions. Then it works.
Not one click but by no means a byzantine process
- watusername 1y agoThis extension is a big ugly hack: It redirects result pages of built-in search pages to Kagi, sometimes _after_ the original page has fully loaded. This doesn't occur on my M4 MacBook Pro, but happens all the time on my much slower 12-inch MacBook [0]. If this doesn't scare you already, I'll rephrase: Your queries may be sent to the built-in search engines even if you think you're only using Kagi! It does not actually replace the need for real custom search engine support in Safari. The official Kagi docs coyly acknowledge this [1]: > For a better experience, we recommend selecting a single search engine to redirect (DuckDuckGo or Ecosia are recommended options as they have better privacy policies than other alternatives). [0]: It's an amazingly portable device made ahead of its time - Apple really should revive this form factor and stick an M1 chip in it.

- carlosjobim 1y agoThe extension is a big ugly hack, but you don't have to use it. You can simply set kagi.com as your start page and/or your new tab page.

- billbrown 1y agoOrion (made by Kagi) is a WebKit-based browser that eliminates the need for an extension.
