I've been using Kagi for a while now and I love it.

My only gripe is the usability on iOS as it keeps logging me off every now and then (it feels like more often than many other sites) which then results in a login screen when you're trying to search something and after the re-login the query you already wrote once is now lost.

not sure if it's possible to set up on iOS, but in settings -> account they offer a "Session Link" that contains a token that will log you in automatically. if you can set that link as your default search you shouldn't have that issue any more.

I use it in private browsing mode so i can still use the nice search without having to log in every time.

IIIUC custom search engines on iOS are a hack and they just have an extension which captures your google queries and redirects them to Kagi.

They recommend their own Orion browser which is the only browser on iOS that uses a webkit fork, which can install browser extensions intended for chrome and firefox
