Closed source?
What kind of data they'll suck in order to monetize the browser?
- freediver 5y agoNone (it is a zero telemetry browser, which is easily verifiable). Instead there will be a paid Pro version. https://browser.kagi.com/faq.html#business https://browser.kagi.com/faq.html#business
- commoner 5y agoThey do address this in their FAQ: > Is Orion open-source? > Not yet, but we plan for it to be when we are ready to receive the benefits of open-sourcing Orion. Creating something as big and ambitious as Orion (which includes forking WebKit, porting entire WebExtensions API and writing a browser app from scratch) is challenging enough for a small team like ours. We can not afford any other overhead - and properly maintaining an open source project takes time and resources. If you want to contribute, the best way to do that is to become a beta tester. https://browser.kagi.com/faq.html#oss https://browser.kagi.com/faq.html#oss Hopefully, they'll follow through with their plans to open source the browser.
