    I don't understand the reasoning behind Kagi developing a browser. Such a small team would gain more from partnering with the likes of Mozilla/Vivaldi/etc IMO

      Browsers being broken is very closely related to Google/search being broken.

      I assume it's the same reason that Google decided to develop its own browser

        Google was vastly better resourced though when they started Chrome. They even waited for many years because Eric Schmidt thought the company was still too small to enter the browser wars.

      Firefox uses Google as the default search engine, Vivaldi goes with Startpage. I doubt either would change to a stripped-down version of Kagi. Because that's how this would most likely be done, and Kagi wouldn't get much of such deals.
