I just disabled it today. I have issues searching for local stuff and the other thing - it works poorly with Safari, which is of course not their fault.

How is them not supporting Safari not their fault?

On iOS at least, Apple does not allow custom search engines in Safari and does not list kagi. So the kagi app redirects requests to a different one. Feels gross and dumb.

It really isn't that bad. Setup is really quick and I have not found cause to complain on mobile.

Same. It’s annoying that it’s required, but once configured it works just as I’d expect.

Safari has a set list of search engines, you cannot add to or remove from the list.

They currently "support" safari currently by redirecting the searches that go to your chosen search engine to kagi.com with an extension.

FWIW, Kagi makes a browser called Orion that comes with ad blocking packaged in and works exceptionally well.
