It may be YACB, but that is precisely why it works for the author. Chromium browsers have the best compatibility because that is what is tested for. If it were any other way, then this post wouldn't exist.
Google has invested significantly in security. I believe you are referring to privacy?

The Kagi Search extension works perfectly well.
What is it about Grok that you expect to be so much better? Not disagreeing necessarily, just want to know your reasoning.
I agree, but this limited to macOS and iOS. Not helpful to most people.
It’s trivial to change default search provider, not sure why Apple wouldn’t take the money. It’s still up to the user.
