Kagi's Orion browser hits public beta on Linux
- digitalPhonix 7mo ago> Orion isn’t a recoloured Chromium or another Firefox fork, but a native Linux app built in GTK4/libadwaita and WebKitGTK, with platform-level integration. Isn't it just a recoloured Safari (through WebKit)? Why is Chromium/Firefox bad but WebKit OK for this argument?
- Lord-Jobo 7mo agoProbably just because it’s the smallest of the three and the least tethered to Google.
- mr_machine 7mo agoWas initially excited about this project but their reticence to open source has really diminished that. The browser is far too critical a piece of personal infrastructure to be closed. Still hoping they open the whole thing, at which point I'll become an Orion+ subscriber immediately. Until then, thanks but no thanks.
