Setting up the Kagi for Safari extension (Mac)

To set up the Kagi extension for Safari on macOS:

1. Visit your Account Settings page and copy the Session Link.
2. Open Safari.
3. Click on the Kagi extension icon in Safari's toolbar.
4. If you receive a prompt saying The extension "Kagi for Safari" would like to access kagi.com.,
   • Click on Always Allow on Every Website.
5. Click the extension icon again.
6. Paste the Session Link in the Private Browsing section. This will allow you to use Kagi Search in private windows.

Choosing a Search Engine to Redirect (Mac)

By default, the Kagi Search extension for Safari will redirect searches from any search engine to Kagi. For a better experience, we recommend selecting a single search engine to redirect (DuckDuckGo or Ecosia are recommended options as they have better privacy policies than other alternatives). You can accomplish this by following these steps:

1. Open Safari.
2. In the menu bar, go to Safari > Settings.
3. Click on the Search tab.
4. In the Search engine dropdown, select the search engine you want to redirect to Kagi (DuckDuckGo or Ecosia are recommended).
5. Close the Settings window.
6. In Safari’s toolbar, click on the Kagi extension icon.
7. In the Engine to redirect dropdown, select the same search engine you chose in step 4.

Note: If you set DuckDuckGo as default and experience issues with Bangs, we recommend switching to Ecosia instead.
