Tools I Trust: Kagi and Orion
I left Google Search the way you leave a bad habit — slowly, then all at once. The results were getting worse. The ads were multiplying. And somewhere along the way I realized I wasn’t the customer. I was the inventory.
Kagi is a paid search engine. Ten dollars a month, no ads, no tracking, no results shaped by whoever paid to be at the top. Clean page, real results. It works for me, not for advertisers.
Orion is the browser — made by the same company, built on WebKit like Safari, with full Chrome and Firefox extension support and nothing phoning home.
I use them together because the tool and the system it runs in matter equally. A good shovel in a broken irrigation setup still leaves you dry.
The full story is coming in a special series — Tools I Trust.
