For now. It sounds like if they can get enough support, that will lead to the ability to hire more developers to release a Linux and Windows version. Kagi is supported by users paying for stuff rather than ads or selling data. So it’s all a question of how many people are willing to pay. Generally speaking, the Apple platforms have a higher percentage of people willing to pay for stuff, so it makes sense to start there.
They’re working on it. They’re starting to open source some of the components. The faq mentions they have a really small team right now and lack some of the manpower there, but it’s the goal.
As far as WebKit goes, it’s the 2nd most popular engine, thanks to the iPhone. From some stats I saw from a large CDN it had about 20% market share. I think it’s good there are browsers that don’t use Blink. Everyone just piggy backing on Chromium puts the entire internet in bed with Google and leads to an IE situation where web developers stop testing with other browsers, then Google will think they can do whatever they want and they set the standards for the entire internet. Having multiple popular engines require everyone work together to support web standards.
Kagi is working one using WebKit. https://browser.kagi.com/
that’s only for iOS/MacOS

To be fair, making it with WebKit already puts it at a disadvantage, will it be open source at least?
