We just published a new blog post on the state of search and the critical need for open index access. The dawn of a healthier, user-centric web is possible, but it requires structural change.

My kids came with an idea for this one. We quickly built a prototype and few months later happy to announce we are launching Slop Detective game today! The purpose is to educate kids about AI slop and teach them how to fact check.

Thanks to Nat, Nicole, Nenad, Ratik and Kevin for making this happen

Today we are launching Orion Browser v1.0

blog.kagi.com/orion

It has been quite a journey for the last 6 years building not just a search engine so good that people would pay for it, but a web browser too.

Thank you all loyal users, supporters and customers.

And thank you to the Orion team!

Orion browser by Kagi folks.

And something big is coming next week.
lol leave it to the folks at orion to do liquid glass in the browser on mac better than apple

Kagi Mail anyone?
A properly functioning democracy would not allow Gmail to train AI on users’ private email data BY DEFAULT and take away critical longstanding features if you opt out

Kagi is now 60,000 members and 7,000 families strong. That's 1M daily searches from our small rebel alliance, building a web that serves people, not advertisers. Every search strikes back at surveillance capitalism. Thank you for joining the rebellion.

My apologies for the survey that went out to all customers - we don't do this normally. We meant well - we need data to improve the product. And thank you if you responded. Also I understand if it annoyed you. We get it - you pay for Kagi to avoid this kind of thing. Lesson learned.

There seems to be a new Chromium browser with AI slopped on top of it every week. Is anyone doing it properly? Like it is actually valuable, you would pay for it?
