We've added an optional "Regex" field to Custom Bangs for more precise control. You can now define exactly how your query is split to create more powerful shortcuts.

Read more about this in our latest changelog: kagi.com/changelog#7389
A screenshot of the "Add a new custom bang" interface for Kagi Search. It includes fields for entering the bang name, shortcut, URL template, domain for Snaps, and a regex pattern for parsing query terms. A yellow arrow points to the regex pattern input area. Options for "Shortcut Menu," "Open Base Path," and "URL Encode Query" are also visible, along with a "Save" button at the bottom.

Use Signal. We promise, no AI clutter, and no surveillance ads, whatever the rest of the industry does. <3
Image of a screenshot of news headline, saying, "WhatsApp is getting ads using personal data from Instagram and Facebook Forced Consent & Consent Bypass / 16 June 2025 Meta announced today that it also wants to introduce ads on WhatsApp, which will be based on personal data from Facebook and Instagram. This further integrates WhatsApp into other Meta services - an originally independent app, which initially was available for just $1 per year without ads or data usage. This also means that Meta is consolidating its social networking monopoly. EU law was actually supposed to prevent this."

Amazon qui augmente le prix des cartes Sandisk microSD Express les seules compatibles avec la Switch 2 la veille de l'annonce de son annonce, c'est probablement une coïncidence.

Happy Pokémon Day!

#Kagi #PokemonDay
An illustration styled like a Pokémon battle screen. On the left, a character labeled "Googlare" is represented by a surveillance camera setup and a claw holding colorful spheres, with a red health bar nearly depleted. On the right, a character labeled "Kagi" is represented by a simple dog-like figure with a green health bar fully intact. Below, a text box reads: "Kagi puts quality results first. It's super effective!"

How in the hell is @proton.me being led by a straight up maga chud not the biggest news right now.
A tweet from Andy Yen, QT'ing Donald Trump's announcement of Gail Slater as Assistant AG: "Great pick by @realDonaldTrump. 10 years ago, Republicans were the party of big business and Dems stood for the little guys, but today the tables have completely turned. People forget that the current antitrust actions against Big Tech were started under the first Trump admin." Posted December 4, 2024.

Trump vilified tech giants. Now they’re giving him millions.
After years in which Trump called them enemies of the people, Silicon Valley executives are hoping $1 million gifts and Mar-a-Lago dinners will mend bridges with the president-elect.

If you enjoy using Mastodon for Android, please consider leaving a positive rating or review on the Play Store, because a lot of people who do leave reviews are like this:
A 2-star review saying "The app certainly has potential, but the users are so blue pilled that more than half the content isn't worth reading" A 1-star review saying "Far-left echo chamber" A 1-star review saying "I got banned for simply saying good things about Elon Musk and Donald Trump. While others are allowed to say nasty, vile things about them. This app is definitely another leftist dump"
