What Real Users Say About Kagi for Safari
Authentic feedback and real-world ratings from Mac & iOS users
This is false information
"I just tried using this app and nothing it says is true. This app claims you can add Kagi to Safari. When you go to the Kagi website, it specifically says that Apple does not allow anything to be added as a search engine, other than their small listing of choices. You cannot add Kagi. End of story."
Rarely captures searches now
"Always have to submit the search multiple times for it to go to Kagi."
Requires you to give access to browsing history
"This extension requires you to give it access to your entire browsing history in order for it to function, which is a non-starter for me."
Broken
"Bad to begin with, and recently has gotten much worse. It seems everything I search for is being sent to Ecosia now before also being sent to Kagi, which kind of ruins the point. Disappointing"
