Open Source would be MUCH better, but I'm seeing you're working on it, will wait till then I guess.

Wait for what?

Wait for the browser to become open source I assume, which is supposed to happen sometime in the future.

It’s when the kernel (or drivers) run into a bug. Also known as blue screen of death on the windows side.

Then userland programs triggering kernel panics are good, since they make your kernels more bugfree and secure, aren't they?

They are good when you are stress testing your setup. They are bad if you are just trying to browse the damned website

As a paying Kagi user, please don't waste my money on this when Firefox already exists.

uhhh, I don't agree.. .

I hate even Firefox in my phone: even if you set to remove data when I close it, it does not, and I have to do it by hand every time

I second this. Please do one thing and one thing only and that's building a good search engine. Don't become Mozilla and get lost along the way.

> that it does not really work with Google Meet It does sound like a feature, not a bug though...

This. Meet works better with Chrome, so I used to have chrome for Meet only, and Firefox for everything else.

It has become better in the last year or so. I used to have the same setup but currently Meet on FF works without issues for me.

I had the same experience. Even if uBlock Origin kind of works, somehow it doesn't block the same number of ads as it does with other browsers, I wonder why. Same uBlock Origin version, same filters enabled, fewer ads blocked on Orion. I used this site for example to test: https://d3ward.github.io/toolz/adblock.html - scores 65% on orion and 99% on other browsers

I'm getting 99% on Orion with their content blockers and uBlock Origin (default lists only).

The official documentation doesn't recommend this: https://help.kagi.com/orion/browser-extensions/ublock-origin...

> For power users who want that last 10% with uBlock, we recommend disabling Orion's content blocker globally. Running both Orion blocking and uBlock may cause interference with each other.

I have chromium on my computer for meet and microsoft teams. The rest I do with firefox.

I never seen that on a Mac though.

They are more rare one current versions of macOS. I’ve been using Mac’s for about 20 years and got them a lot a lot in the early days.
