Ask HN: Brave search vs. Kagi – which one do you use?

I use both.

First I use Brave only because I’m on $5 plan with Kagi and because a lot of searches are simple, like looking for website instead of accurately having to type in the name.

But when I really need to find something I use Kagi. If I could afford $9/10 plan I would just use Kagi.

If anybody knows how to set brave as default search in iOS - let me know.

There’s an extension called xSearch which will let you define any search engine as default.

I tried using it in the past but I remember it didn’t work out for me somehow for some reason. I just looked into it and figured out on my own. I used Modificator extension and wrote my own JS to pull search parameter and redirect to brave.

Edit: just tried xsearch. It worked and did pretty much the same thing i did with Modificator.
