Kagi added a setting for removing paywalled links from search results
Kagi search engine has introduced new user-controlled settings to disable AI features and paywalled links, alongside updates to its browser, Orion. These changes emphasize user privacy and customization in response to community feedback.
Why it matters
This reflects a growing market demand for privacy-focused and user-controlled search experiences as a counter-trend to mainstream AI-integrated search engines.
We've added an option to disable access to AI features in search, under settings/ai .
We're also planning to add this option to onboarding, so new users can personalise their Kagi experience from the start.
It's finally here! We believe that Kagi's application of AI should always be useful - there when you'd like it, and never when you don't, and always respecting your privacy.
This took us some time to navigate the right way to communicate this option. We did not want to create a confusing narrative as a company adding a toggle while continuing to invest in AI features elsewhere in our portfolio. But in the end, we want to stay true to putting you in control of your search engine - so here you are!
We deeply thank the community for their feedback and patience.
