Kagi Search

I have made Kagi Search inactive on my Chrome web browser which runs on an ASUS Chromebook. That’s because upon testing it using my Google Docs app I discovered it removed Docs ability to copy and paste formatted text. I suggest you look into this. I’ve not used it much to have an informed opinion about Kagi’s features and functional quality, hence the 2 star rating.

I love Kagi... BUT, for reasons I don't know, this extension started overwriting the new tab page. It's the typical Chrome new tab page, but for example, it's missing the Google integrations like recent drive files, etc. and it seems like customization options are gone.

Great, But Not Ideal for Windows Users I've been using Kagi for a while now, and I must say, it’s an impressive search engine. The privacy-focused approach, combined with the clean, ad-free experience, makes it a refreshing alternative to the big players like Google. The ability to customize search results, use "Lenses," and benefit from powerful AI tools like the Universal Summarizer are definite highlights that set Kagi apart. However, I would love to see the "Summarize page" option in this plugin. Kagi itself deserves 5 stars (one star missing for the lack of an android app). This plugin sadly not, but it is the best option for chrome based browsers.

It works fine, but the searches are much too expensive. 1.5 cents per search may not sound like a lot, but it adds up quick. Have you ever needed to search for something, and tweaked your search query several times before finally finding what you need? Suddenly that 1.5 cent search becomes a lot more expensive. You change a single word in your search, that's another 1.5 cents. I tore through the 100 trial searches in just a couple days. At that rate, maybe 1500 searches, $22 per month? That's more than an ad-free 4k Netflix subscription! That same $22 will buy you 11 million tokens through the ChatGPT API! I admire what Kagi is trying to accomplish in the search space, but the service is much too expensive for people like me.

Kagi Search Has Issues. I did create an account but my login only works less than half the time. The extension problem may be with Kagi Search itself.

For some reason, it stops working after some time, and I need to reinstall it. Not sure what's the problem...

I really like Kagi search, and hoped this extension would allow me to choose it as the default search engine for Brave. It doesn't seem to do anything, which is disappointing. Still planning to use Kagi, though.

Impressed by the search engine, but the extension itself doesn't seem to play well with Opera GX. It doesn't set itself as a default search engine properly, and trying to use it in incognito mode ended up crashing the whole browser. Hopefully updates will get the extension running smoothly in this browser!
