Orion
Perhaps I was a bit hasty in my dismissal of Orion. I’ve been driving it this week and it’s really good. I haven’t encountered any real negatives.
Let’s run through my list: it’s very Mac-assed. It seems delightfully energy efficient. And it hasn’t done anything remotely creepy or annoying. Quite the opposite in fact - its built-in content blocker is plenty good enough for me, and so the only extension I’ve got installed is 1Password which seems to work just fine (once you change a couple of things). And you can install extensions without requiring a fucking account with anyone.
The developer tools are as you would expect from a WebKit browser as well.
Nice!
I kind of wish Kagi made it more obvious that this is a thing they make. And that it’s free - the whole Orion+ thing is a bit confusing, but I’ve already signed up for it because as I stated in my last post, I am happy to pay money for a browser if it means no bullshit.
