Hi Kagi Team,
I love the Privacy Pass feature in the Android app, but there is a friction point when clicking on search results. Currently, opening a result from the Kagi app launches a standard in-app browser. This shares cookies and saves the visit to my main browser's history.
The Request:
When Privacy Pass is active, please configure the app to open search results in an Incognito/Ephemeral in-app browser session automatically (or add a setting for it).
This would ensure a truly private search experience end-to-end. Right now, to keep the visit private, I have to manually copy the result's URL from the in-app browser and paste it into an external incognito tab.
Thanks for the great work!
User Flow & Use Cases
A user enables Privacy Pass in the Kagi app to search for health, financial, or personal queries. They tap a search result to read an article.
Current behavior: The link opens in a standard Android Chrome Custom Tab (or system in-app browser). Cookies are shared with the user's primary browser profile, and the visit is logged in Chrome’s local history.
Proposed behavior: With Privacy Pass active, tapping the search result automatically launches the in-app browser in Incognito/Ephemeral mode. The user reads the site, closes the in-app browser, and no local history, cookies, or site data are retained on the device.
