Yeah, except it's pure bullshit. I'm actually a tiny bit irritated they worded it like this because it's insultingly misleading. "From day one, we made the deliberate choice to build Orion on WebKit, the open‑source engi

I really hate to say this but the way the fading gradients at the top and bottom of the page alter the visibility of the text, it's so distracting I literally had to search the source to disable that CSS before I could read the article

Agreed, it's when. They're hoping to stave it off or maybe stretch out the pop into a correction by all hedging together with all these incestuous deals, but you can't hold back the tide. They debuted this tech way too early,
