Kagi Search Changelog 13th Feb, 2025 - Redefining Privacy in Search

kagi.com Kagi Search Changelog

Better search results with no ads. Welcome to Kagi (pronounced kah-gee), a paid search engine that gives power back to the user.

Announcing Kagi Privacy Pass

Kagi now supports Privacy Pass, an IETF-standardized protocol ensuring your searches are technically unlinkable to your account.

Read all about why this matters and the details of implementation in our announcement blog post!

Privacy Pass support is provided:

  • Natively for Orion browser users (macOS/iOS/iPadOS). On iOS, make sure to have version 1.3.17 and above (expected to roll out globally today) and update your macOS Orion to version 0.99.131.
  • Natively through Kagi App for Android (make sure to have version 0.29, expected to roll out globally today)
  • Browser extension for Firefox or Chrome

A few important details:

  • Privacy Pass implementation is fully open-sourced for transparency and community collaboration
  • Kagi Privacy Pass is available for the Professional, Ultimate, Family, and Team plans.
  • Limitations:
    • It's not available for Trial/Starter plans
    • Privacy Pass mode disables account-specific features, like domain personalisaton (as we do not know which user is searching)
    • Privacy Pass mode is supported for Kagi Search in this initial phase, we will add support other services in the coming weeks. Check the blog post FAQ section for more details!

Kagi is redefining privacy in search. Try it now!
