I apologize if this is not really compatible or if you can't really answer it but what is the difference be it in approach/implementation between Kagi Search and Brave Search's Premium feature? In the same vein can you explain the difference between Brave Browser itself and Orion Browser? Both are privacy-focused so could you maybe elaborate on what makes the two different?

Main difference is that Kagi is funded completely by users where Brave is (predominately) by advertisers. So everything we do is always user-centric. I welcome that Brave has an ad-free option available, but have yet to meet anyone who pays for it. Brave search is mainly known as ad-supported search engine.
Orion Browser is truly privacy respecting browser. It is zero-telemetry and blocks first party ads by default, unlike Brave.

Awesome thanks for the clarification! I think you hit the nail on the head since Brave has a free version the idea of paying for a premium is a tough pill for most to swallow. Is the browser being completely built from scratch or is it built upon an existing browser?

Orion browser is built from scratch, using WebKit rendering engine.
