- (2025-04-25) Dylan Dulaney: I love Kagi... BUT, for reasons I don't know, this extension started overwriting the new tab page. It's the typical Chrome new tab page, but for example, it's missing the Google integrations like recent drive files, etc. and it seems like customization options are gone.
- (2025-03-13) Tim Reid: It's unfortunate that Google has become indiscernable from that which it sought to destroy in the 90s (AOL). Kagi is to Google what Google was to AOL. except better. thanks for saving the internet, Kagi. It's unfortunate that it costs money, but we've seen all too well what happens with 'free' internet things.
- (2025-03-04) Kate Thaus: Amazing! But pls add a turn-off switch for Kagi search. Sometimes I want a filthy google search
- (2025-01-07) Josh Glenn: I'm not sure about DuckDuckGo nowadays and Kagi has a great AI found within. It's an paid service (Kagi.com) and I appreciate paying for the search results as they pretty much 100% of the time are of a higher quality than using the same search on Google.com
- (2024-12-14) Alyx Buckmann: Best search of the internet.
- (2024-10-12) Harish Cherukuri: Kagi is a breath of fresh air! It is simple to use and has no annoying ads. It has quickly become my favorite search engine. The paid version is well worth the price.
- (2024-08-21) Johan van Dijk: Great, But Not Ideal for Windows Users I've been using Kagi for a while now, and I must say, it’s an impressive search engine. The privacy-focused approach, combined with the clean, ad-free experience, makes it a refreshing alternative to the big players like Google. The ability to customize search results, use "Lenses," and benefit from powerful AI tools like the Universal Summarizer are definite highlights that set Kagi apart. However, I would love to see the "Summarize page" option in this plugin. Kagi itself deserves 5 stars (one star missing for the lack of an android app). This plugin sadly not, but it is the best option for chrome based browsers.
- (2024-08-09) Kody Mullins: Couldn't add it manually in my org but the extension works - thank you!
- (2024-07-30) TEKn: Best search engine and worth every penny.
- (2024-06-08) Abhijit P.: Brave search and duck duck go were feeling like a downgrade from Google search. This is straight up an upgrade from Google. Way better experience surfing the net. Probably a sub for life.
- (2024-05-28) Tim Maffett: Impressive. Love the ui and most importantly relevant results like the google of ages past! Paid subscriber after two searches.
- (2024-05-01) Lianne van de Ven: Big advantage of using Kagi: it recognizes automatically when I am searching in another language, whereas Google insists on using local search results in a different language. Nice clean UI and searches yield relevant results.
- (2024-03-24) Adrian Lloyd Flanagan: A search engine that is what Google _used_ to be: gives you the best results without garbage, paid placements, ads, or search results boosted because someone paid for them to be.
- (2024-03-08) Ariel Vardi: Finally I can trust a search engine. Thank you for creating Kagi!
- (2024-02-07) Steve T: Excellent curated search -- worth every penny and only getting better.
- (2024-02-05) Antonio J G-B: really great alternative to Google that isn't bing and doesn't just buy off data search indexes from bing (a la duckduckgo) my god it removes all the spam listicles and Top 10 (affiliate links) list
- (2023-12-27) Darth Sigil: I was skeptical, but I really like it. I only wish the starter plan was 500 searches instead of 300. I mean the net plan up is unlimited searches and has two features using AI. The "starter" is designed to to upsell you. hence its name starter vs basic. I really don’t need the AI features.
- (2023-11-12) Robert Cooper: Kagi has been a massive improvement to my life over Google search. Just try it to understand. And the pricing is so much better now too - previous reviews state that it's pay-per-search, but that's not the case any more! US$10/mo for unlimited searches is so good. I'm a total convert honestly. And the ability to summarize pages using this extension is also such a blessing.
- (2023-11-09) David Cowden: Better than Google.

- (2023-04-15) Michael: It works fine, but the searches are much too expensive. 1.5 cents per search may not sound like a lot, but it adds up quick. Have you ever needed to search for something, and tweaked your search query several times before finally finding what you need? Suddenly that 1.5 cent search becomes a lot more expensive. You change a single word in your search, that's another 1.5 cents. I tore through the 100 trial searches in just a couple days. At that rate, maybe 1500 searches, $22 per month? That's more than an ad-free 4k Netflix subscription! That same $22 will buy you 11 million tokens through the ChatGPT API! I admire what Kagi is trying to accomplish in the search space, but the service is much too expensive for people like me.

- (2023-02-14) Norman Hunter: Kagi Search Has Issues. I did create an account but my login only works less than half the time. The extension problem may be with Kagi Search itself.

- (2022-05-28) K W: It would be nice to separate the two functionalities: - set Kagi as default - use Kagi in incognito I prefer to use a different search engine by default but still have Kagi in incognito, and with this extension it's all or nothing.

- (2022-05-26) Jason Fruit: I really like Kagi search, and hoped this extension would allow me to choose it as the default search engine for Brave. It doesn't seem to do anything, which is disappointing. Still planning to use Kagi, though.

- (2022-05-26) Conro Norock: Impressed by the search engine, but the extension itself doesn't seem to play well with Opera GX. It doesn't set itself as a default search engine properly, and trying to use it in incognito mode ended up crashing the whole browser. Hopefully updates will get the extension running smoothly in this browser!
