Asking me to change web browsers is insane, so off the table. That leaves going to kagi.com in my browser to then search, but nobody does that. I am opening the web browser, and using the address bar to search, and I want that experience to be good. To have that flow work with kagi you have to jump through some pretty crazy hoops. The point where I unsubscribed for good was when the crazy hoops stopped working.
I get it, chips are stacked against them, but something as critically well understood as searching the web just HAS to work as expected, because the free alternatives have a very very good UX.

Except for your first two sentences, you’re describing how I use Orion on iOS. I haven’t tried any macos version, randomly.
(Agreed about manually going to kagi.com not happening, etc.)
