I've been really happy with Kagi, I've been using them a while.

One feature request, I actually wanted to brag about how long I've used it, and went to my account but couldn't see a "member since...", or a full purchase history. Seems like it would be a small but awesome feature :)

> We are also thrilled to report that we have achieved profitability.

BOOM! That's great news to hear. I've been paying for Kagi since the early adopter days and it's become one of my most used tools. It'd be really painful to replace it at this point and I hope Kagi stays in it for the long haul.

Just look at that side by side comparison with Google. I haven't used it without a adblocker in so long it's a shock. It's gotten really bad.

Congratulations to Vlad and the whole team. They are showing how a patient building of product and customer base can succeed, where a VC backed approach for a similar business model and product did not sustain. RIP Neeva.

We are delighted to support you as a customer and see your growth. Alternative search options are needed more than ever and becoming increasingly appreciated. We too are doing our bit in search, with a different business model and shared values about empowering a "human-centric and sustainable web that benefits individuals, communities, and society as a whole".

I'm really glad this actually focuses on search and not "AI all the things". I'm definitely rooting for Kagi to succeed and not get bogged down with distractions.

Waiting for Orion for Android.

They said last year if resources allow it, they would perhaps port Orion to other platforms.

> We are getting a lot of repeat questions about windows/linux/android version and sometimes it appears that users think that the team is choosing not to work on these platforms. The situation is quite different and simpler - we do not have the resources to hire a new team to do any of these platforms yet.

> And since Orion is funded by its users only, it is entirely up to the number of subscribers and Orion+ sales we have that will enable funding a new team to make Orion for any new platform. And building a browser is not cheap, especially one on top of WebKit.

> Ways you can help accelerate this is:

> - Contribute to Orion development with your time

> - Help spread the word about Orion to attract more users

> - Get Orion+ and financially support developmet
