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.
