Orion tops Apple's App Store's list of superpowered internet browsers "to seriously level up your web browsing"!
And Android Police published an article about Kagi's new fair pricing model: "This ethical search engine will return your subscription money if you don't use it." The Verge also covered the news.
In months where you don't utilize any searches on your plan, we will automatically apply a full credit to your account for that month. This credit will be applied to your next billing cycle, effectively covering your subsequent month's subscription at no additional cost.
We have implemented this for the simple reason of being kind to our users. We understand some months you may forget to use Kagi or do not need it, so when you do, you can rest assured that we haven’t charged you for that.
This change is effective immediately, no forms to fill, no requests to make.

Fast Company just published an article highlighting how Kagi is redefining search by prioritising users over ads and clutter. It's a good in-depth read, perfect for sharing with anyone curious about a better way to search!
(define) scrappy: Having an aggressive spirit; inclined to fight or strive. (informal)
Yep, sounds about right!
We partnered with illustrator Chaz Hutton to capture what makes Kagi different. Share and engage with the artwork on your favorite social platform - Mastodon, Bluesky, Pixelfed, Instagram, X, Nostr, LinkedIn, and Threads. Expect more to come!
We've launched a major redesign of the Assistant interface, featuring:
This update is part of our vision to create a distinctive LLM interface. Stay tuned for more improvements, including sidebar integration and new thread management features.
In the meantime, please let us know what you think!
It's now localized itself into 20 new languages, so it truly speaks your language.
The settings panel lets you customize translations and add context effortlessly.
And the history panel keeps track of everything you've translated. buttons are now grouped for easier navigation.
Plus, long translations are up to 3x faster, and we've relaxed content
filters for more flexibility.
It's faster, smarter, and more intuitive.
Don't take our word for it - try Kagi Translate and see for yourself!
Finding vector graphics is now easier with our dedicated SVG filter - perfect for discovering icons, logos, and illustrations.
Unfortunately we can't do this without your help. Share your feedback directly with Apple to help make it happen.
With this release, we're excited to introduce changes that allows you to share all your searches and Assistant threads with everyone.
You can now easily share image, video, news, and podcast searches by
clicking the share icon.
Additionally, any Assistant threads you share will be publicly
accessible to others!
We’ve refined our ranking system to bring you sharper, more relevant results. We think this sets a new standard — try it and let us know what you think.
Plus, you can now see detailed channel statistics such as subscriber
count, creation date, and total videos, right in your search results.
Pro tip: to avoid clickbait, you can customise your experience by
selecting a random screenshot as the thumbnail or modifying video titles
in your search settings.
We're working on exciting updates to the Assistant experience! The model picker is now located in the top menu bar, making it easier to select a model for your next action. Plus, we've added two new models for you to explore: Deepseek R1 and Deepseek v3, both using a privacy respecting provider (see our LLM privacy guide).
So I let the chain wear down too much in the past two years and the rear sprockets appear to be worn out and will need to be replaced. The stock 50T chain ring is also showing signs of wear but appears to still be good for a few years.
I wanted to use this opportunity to see whether I could switch the gearing up a little.
The 13-16 gearing has been surprisingly capable but I need just a little more hill climbing ability; the lowest gear (2.64m) is just barely enough sometimes. I'd like it a tad lower I think.
On the high end, I usually ride in the upper two gears on flat ground. The highest gear (7.98m) feels just a tad too much sometimes though and I then fall back to one lower (6.49m) but that feels a good bit too low. That doesn't bother me a lot but it'd still be nicer to have a gear that's just right.
On a downhill, the highest gear is always sufficient for me; feels pretty much exactly right. I wouldn't mind slightly more metres of development but, honestly, I don't care very much when I'm already going way past 30km/h and I don't ride downhill for very long usually. I'm unsure whether reducing the highest gear slightly would make me pedal uncomfortably quickly down hill though.
Stock and current config:
| Hub | 64% | 100% | 157% |
|---|---|---|---|
| Low sprocket | 2.64 | 4.14 | 6.49 |
| High sprocket | 3.25 | 5.10 | 7.98 |
I'm currently thinking about a 44T chain ring with 12-17:
| Hub | 64% | 100% | 157% |
|---|---|---|---|
| Low sprocket | 2.19 | 3.43 | 5.37 |
| High sprocket | 3.10 | 4.86 | 7.61 |
or 12-16:
| Hub | 64% | 100% | 157% |
|---|---|---|---|
| Low sprocket | 2.33 | 3.64 | 5.71 |
| High sprocket | 3.10 | 4.86 | 7.61 |
The lower gears being lower and closer together sounds very nice.
In the higher gears, my hope is that the slightly lower highest gear would allow me to use it the majority of the time on flat ground because I suspect the second highest gear would feel quite a bit too low as a fall-back.
I could see 12-15 being an option perhaps but that also gets the lowest gear much closer to 13-16 again:
| Hub | 64% | 100% | 157% |
|---|---|---|---|
| Low sprocket | 2.48 | 3.89 | 6.09 |
| High sprocket | 3.10 | 4.86 | 7.61 |
But obviously the lowest gear gets very close to the previous config again.
Where I have a hard time is imagining how significant the difference between 2.64m, 2.19m, 2.33m and 2.48m are in an uphill scenario. The jump between the lower gears in 13-16 (3.25m to 2.64m) in practice feels significant but not that large either and we're talking about a much lower absolute drop being gained in the low end by switching gearing. I don't know whether the practical effect of this is linear though and I suspect it might not be.
I'd really appreciate practical experience here. Have you changed gearing on your Brompton? From what to what and how significant were the differences?

I recently got my Kobo Elipsa 2E and it's better than I expected, especially the simplicity of OS and how well handwriting generally works were a surprise to me.
Given that its handwritten notes features are surprisingly capable, I've been trying to use it to take notes for learning physics but quite soon ran into an issue in trying to use the advanced notebook:
In physics, there's a notation where you can write dx/dt as an x with a dot above it (ẋ), adding more dots the more often you take the derivative w.r.t. time though you typically only need 2 max. The handwriting recognition for formulas does not know this notation however and therefore converts any attempts to stupid stuff instead.
Additionally, I quite frequently write sentences that also contain some "math symbols" such as δ or θ or even just mathematical expressions such as L(x). Formula fields would recognise these just fine but no such luck with regular text fields; it tries to make normal letters or words out of these.
The maths formula mode cannot be used for annotating equations either as it garbles words into symbol structures.
The fall-back would be to just use raw drawing plots but my handwriting is quite poor and I'd rather have text because that really works quite well otherwise. I could write text mode until I need a sentence with a symbol in it but I don't know ahead of time whether I'll need it and by the time I know, it's already too late and I'd need to write the entire sentence again inside a raw canvas.
Are there any solutions or potential workarounds to my problems?
Is it possible to make the formula recognition aware of this notation somehow? I'll likely need further such niche notations in the future too.
Is it perhaps possible to have sections of text (or even formulas) that contain small raw canvases which don't get converted to text? That would also be a nice escape hatch.
Is there an alternative note-taking app one could side-load that works better perhaps? The hardware is surprisingly capable as mentioned; these issues are purely in software.
