WebKit is a rendering engine, not a browser. It's a bit like saying "that isn't original art because you used Earth physics that govern how paint flows and dries.

#52Where's the source code for their browser? Such move of not publishing it is almost bizarre for such a pro-privacy company.
Kagi is not a pro privacy company except inasmuch as they currently consider privacy to be profitable. They are a would-be AI company who discovered paid search was a viable way to self-fund. If you ask them what guarantees you have that they won't someday decide to sell your search history, their response will be "well, it doesn't make financial sense for us to do so. Now drop it" and ban you. Here's a blog post som…

When you have too many tabs, or watch more than a couple videos it just starts freezing and will sometimes crash the phone - you get an unresponsive sideshow screen for a bit before it goes to the lock screen with fingerprint login disabled (like after a restart). I can only assume they've accidentally fou…

Great concept but buggy so not a daily option imo
I’ve used it daily almost since it was released without any real issues. But I generally do not run too many extensions or probably push the limits of my browsers. For me, Orion’s vertical tabs are the best out of the box of all the browsers I’ve tried since I prefer their arbitrary nesting.
