This week in my search for a macOS+iOS alternative to Firefox I’m trying out Kagi’s Orion browser on macOS and iOS. It's WebKit based.

Pros: no telemetry (they say); built in ad and tracking blocking; can install Chrome and Firefox extensions; it can run uBlock Origin (even in iOS!).

Cons: not open source (their FAQ says they're "working on it”); requires iCloud for bookmark and tab syncing; WebKit.

Thoughts? #browsers #privacy #kagi #orion #OrionBrowser #macOS #iOS #WebKit

"Orion is a zero-telemetry browser; has built-in ad and tracking blocking; and reportedly offers lower memory usage, faster page speeds, and greater battery efficiency on Apple devices than other browsers. It also supports both Chrome and Firefox extensions."

Kagi is Bringing Orion Web Browser to Linux

Kagi, the company behind a paid, private search engine1 of the same name, has announced it’s bringing its Webkit-based Orion web browser to Linux. In a post on BlueSky, Kagi said: “We’re thrilled to announce that development of the Orion Browser for Linux has officially started!”. Feature-parity with the macOS version is expected by next year (all going well). Orion is said to best Safari, Google Chrome, and Firefox in many areas on macOS: zero-telemetry browser; built-in ad and tracking blocking; lower memory usage; faster page speeds; greater battery efficiency, support for Chrome Extensions and Firefox Add-ons.

CIX (#Orion C6 SoC vendor) plans to upstream EDK2 support for the platform in Q3/Q4 of 2025.

Looks like I will order this board in December.

gitlab.com/cix-linux/cix_opens is full of blobs. Driver blobs, Library blobs.

Not much left from marketing "World's First Open Source Arm V9 Motherboard" slogan.

Not "World's First", not "Open Source". Just "Arm V9 Motherboard". In a need of fixes to be done.
