Set Kagi as default Chrome search engine and preserve Kagi authentication session in incognito/private browsing mode

Kagi session cookies are not shared with incognito mode by default, causing users to lose their authenticated search experience when browsing privately. This extension bridges that gap by injecting authentication headers.

1. User installs extension and is redirected to kagi.com to log in/create account. 2. Extension reads kagi_session cookie from kagi.com. 3. Extension uses declarativeNetRequest to inject X-Kagi-Authorization header on all kagi.com requests. 4. When user opens incognito mode, the header is still applied (since cookies are not), preserving authenticated search. 5. User can right-click any image to search it on Kagi.

Target users: Kagi Search subscribers who use Chrome / Privacy-conscious users who search in incognito mode / Users who want Kagi as their default search engine across all browsing modes

Cannot verify exact Kagi subscription pricing/tiers from extension source alone
The extension is minimal (9 files, ~7KB JS) so the analysis is comprehensive

Monetization

No paid features detected

The extension itself contains no billing code, no payment API calls, no upgrade UI, and no feature gating. All 'pro' keyword matches are false positives (from 'process' and 'provider'). The extension is fully open source. However, Kagi (the destination service) is a paid search service requiring a subscription to use, which the extension depends on for its core authenticated-search feature.

Confidence: 85
Payment platform: --
Source: AI / High
Login required: Needs review
Reason: The extension reads the kagi_session cookie from kagi.com and uses it as the X-Kagi-Authorization header to authenticate requests. Without being logged into kagi.com, no session cookie exists, so the extension's core feature (authenticated search in incognito) cannot function. The extension opens kagi.com on first install to prompt the user to log in.

Permission risk

High-risk permissions
