Kagi for Safari vs xEngine for Safari

Due to limitations in the Safari browser, Kagi cannot be set as your default search engine. Instead, this extension intercepts your request to your default search engine selected in Safari and redirects to Kagi, creating a seamless search experience. It works in Private Browsing as well. Please note that some requests may still be sent to your default search engine due to this limitation, although the redirect will always be successful. Kagi search is a quick, user-centric, 100% privacy-respecting search engine with results augmented by non-commercial indexes and personalized searches. It has a clean, high-performance user interface with only the most relevant results and no telemetry, no ads and no collection of private information.

xEngine — Customize Your Safari's Default Search Engine Tired of Safari's limited search options? xEngine gives you control. Switch between a wide range of search engines — or add your own, including AI engines like ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, and Duck.ai. Privacy is a top priority: xEngine requests only the permissions it needs. On iOS 17, iPadOS 17, macOS 14 and later, it requires permission to view browsing history to function properly within Safari, but it only accesses the current session's URL to identify the search engine. All processing is done locally, and your personal information never leaves your device, ensuring your privacy is fully protected. Key Features: - Choose from popular engines like Brave, Yandex, Startpage, ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, Duck.ai, and more - Add and manage your own custom search engines - Local processing only — xEngine never collects your data Simple. Private. Yours. Download xEngine and search the web your way.
