#12The sales pitch for this browser is really well done. What is lacking is information about who made this, and why we should trust their claims. Seems important too me if privacy is the main selling feature.

#13The one thing that is lacking from Safari is extensions. If this does what I believe then it will be my main browser. Safari adblocking sucks atm.
I'm on Safari, with the occasional testing and account segregations with Chrome. The combination of AdGuard[1] (found via SetApp[2]) and NextDNS[3] works for me well on Safari.

#14A comparison with Brave would be most welcome.

#15Will this support Apple's new Private Relay, which is akin to TOR-lite for grandma?
I stumble on this few days back and I felt good about it. I'm now a grandma-in-training.

Strongly recommend ad blocking on the network level with something like a pihole, one of the best tech related things I've ever done

It's true this is nice, but it's no replacement for a browser extension, and only does anything while you're at home.

To be fair, the about page says who made it https://browser.kagi.com/faq.html#about

#20Anybody else remember the original Kagi.com? It was an early payment processor for independent software developers.
I sold my first shareware license on Kagi. Probably less than ten people in total bought my screensaver, but it inspired me to switch careers to software.
RIP OG Kagi!
