Yes it also supports Firefox extensions. Bypass Paywall Clean is a great one.
By what mechanism is it possible for this to be true when Firefox doesn't even support Firefox extensions?
I am hopeful for its development but it’s not a daily driver for me. Too many bugs, not a large enough team to support it. When I have looked at the support forum the developer is sometimes a little hostile about bugs/issues, enough so that I don’t care to report my own issues. This is a subjective statement your experience may differ.

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
99% of what? of ads not served? You are mixing ads and tracking and in the end, you can be tracked because you are still unique: With my heavily, via plug-ins, privacy focused firefox I get 99%. With https://www.amiunique.org/fingerprint I get: Yes! You are unique among the 2206539 fingerprints in our entire dataset. PS: with my vanilla Chrome - I use several browsers, for banking and buying plane tickets I always re…
Unique isn't a bad thing really. The trick is to regularly be unique in a different way. I'd rather each tab have a unique fingerprint than simply trust that there's nothing about my browser/device that could identify me. There is an ever growing list of data points your browser makes available and a lot of time, money, and research that goes into finding fingerprinting techniques.
I agree it's good to have a locked down browser for most things and other browsers for websites that you can't get working with everything blocked. Brave is worth a try before you hand your browsing history over directly to Google with chrome or to MS with edge.

Is this a joke I'm not getting? Currently using FF on every device I use, with 3+ extensions.

As a paying Kagi user, please don't waste my money on this when Firefox already exists.
It’s a bit like going for groceries and then your merchant told you all the time "By the way, I’m selling this car prototype. It makes sense! You have to take your car anyway to comes shopping for groceries so why not buying the one from us?".
But I’m a cyclist…

Yup. Search results are as good in Kagi as Google used to be 10yrs ago, before it became an SEO-tuned, malware-infested garbage pile. Worth $5/month.
I would pay $1 or $2 a month, not $5.
And still earn less money (not even counting the costs).
So, sadly, it is sometimes smart to be expensive.
Open Source would be MUCH better, but I'm seeing you're working on it, will wait till then I guess.
