Any mac users out there who tried this browser? Linux alpha is coming this month so will try it myself then.

It sounds like they are building a new browser from the ground up.

I like that it can run both Firefox and Chrome extensions. I… don’t like much else about it.

It seems like it doesn’t use multiple cores efficiently. When I’m taxing my GPU for video transcoding all other web browsers hold up but this one always stalls.

It’s a shame. I use Kagi for search and id love to see them succeed together but the browser is not yet there. It went “out of beta” officially but not practically.

That aside, gpu- video transcoding in the browser?? That's not what webbrowsers are made for.

No I meant same machine.

I think they meant background transcoding while using the browser.

I don’t even want to speculate on what’s going wrong there, heh. But I can definitely see that being a quirk.

Would you be cool if I shared this feedback to the Kagi team? I love Kagi and want to help it improve and grow.

Please do. More browsers that aren’t Google-based or Firefox forks make go a healthier ecosystem.
