Interesting that Kagi is making their browser available on Linux. The key question is: does it actually respect privacy better than Firefox?

Firefox with the right configuration (Enhanced Tracking Protection strict mode, uBlock Origin, DNS-over-HTTPS) is already very solid. The main advantage of a WebKit-based browser would be rendering diversity — reducing the monoculture risk of everything being Chromium.

One thing worth checking with any new browser: what headers does it send, and how unique is its fingerprint? A privacy-focused browser that sends distinctive headers could actually make you more identifiable, not less.

I've used this browser on my phone for a while, it's whatever. I won't bother with the linux browser. However, I use kagi in general to get search results more like how google used to be. But I ended up paying for their assistant since it's a "select any model and use it" version which at minimum allowed me to compare models easily.
