Orion Browser by Kagi
Points and comments are a snapshot, not live.
Kagi launches Orion, a WebKit browser emphasizing privacy and cross-engine extension support.
Orion is a WebKit-based browser available on macOS, iOS/iPadOS, Linux (beta), and Windows (alpha planned). It offers zero-telemetry browsing, built-in ad-blocking/anti-tracking, and claims to be the only browser supporting Safari, Chrome, and Firefox extensions (20 curated). It integrates with Kagi services. Orion is funded by user subscriptions or a one-time license (Orion Plus). The browser has been in development for five years and has 4 million iOS users.
ZDNet and Mac Observer praise its speed and low resource use. OMG Ubuntu notes no data collection or telemetry.
What commenters are saying
Performance is mixed. Some use Orion daily without issues, praising vertical tabs; others find it too buggy for daily use, especially on Linux. Several users suggest Firefox, Brave, or Vivaldi as alternatives. A key complaint is that Orion's extension support on iOS is misleading: while Firefox extensions like uBlock Origin can be installed, they are non-functional; only Orion's built-in ad-blocking works. Commenters also question the "from the ground up" claim given the WebKit dependency and note Kagi is closed-source, with one user arguing the company's privacy guarantee relies on financial incentive, not technical assurance.
