People use Safari on Mac?

Safari is great. Quick Look, syncing tab groups, good touchpad navigation, non janky UI and probably more are my reasons for using it. I just wish it was possible to have shared bookmarks with Firefox which I use on Linux (or have an actual Linux port of it even but that's even less going to happen)

Safari power usage on mac is incredibly low compared to Firefox and other browsers. If you're on battery while on Mac hardware I highly recommend using Safari

Probably explains why I’m not allowed to just make Kagi my default search engine on iOS and Mac.
They have a lot of other options though. Maybe because Kagi isn’t well known? What makes it different from the ones they offer?
For reference you can select your default to be:
Also of those what do y’all like the most? I’ve been using DuckDuckGo and it’s decent.
The real problem is that it is not possible to set a custom search engine like you can in Firefox (with a hack) or Chromium browsers.
Also, not sure where you are in the world but I (in the US) only have the following options:
I pay for Kagi because it does not have any form of advertising or “sponsored results”, and it consistently gives me the best results of any other browser I’ve tried.
Apple supporting this would not be hard, as with all the other search engines the search is just a query parameter appended to the url, they could just provide a template string for “unsupported” search engines.
Only Kagi
You can! Try xSearch from Appstore, it allows you to set any search URL as default for Safari.
