Kagi Chrome Extension

This enables basic Kagi features for your Chromium browser (Chrome, Brave, Edge, Opera, etc.).

Install from the Chrome Web Store

Features

• Sets Kagi as your default search engine
• Preserves your login across private browsing
• Search-by-image by right-clicking on an image

Additional Features

Kagi has many more features to offer, unfortunately due to Google Web Store Policies these must be provided by a separate extension. This extension is currently under development.

Setup

1. Navigate to the extension's settings page chrome://extensions
2. Click Details on the Kagi Search Extension
3. Scroll down and enable Allow in Incognito

Platform Limitations

As per Google's Docs the API to change the default serarch engine is only available on Windows and Mac.

Accordingly, if you are developing the extension on Linux you may see the below error, which is safe to ignore.

Setting Default Search on Linux

Note that unfortunately, this does not provide autocompleting search features.

1. Navigate to kagi.com and if necessary, sign in.
2. Navigate to chrome://settings/searchEngines.
3. In the section Inactive shortcuts click Activate on the Kagi entry.
4. Now that Kagi has moved to the Site Search section, open the side menu and click Make default.
5. Kagi will now be in the Search Engines section.
6. For added privacy, click the 'pencil' icon to edit the Kagi entry. Replace the bottom field with https://kagi.com/search?q=%s. This step is not necessary but is recommended.
