Oh cool!

Oh.

Such a bizarre boondoggle for a company that otherwise seems to have smart and focused offerings. They may as well announce a Slack or Jira replacement next.
Orion is their first product, before Kagi.
I wasn't aware, and I even paid for their search for a time.

I still do not understand the market for a proprietary browser aimed at privacy-conscious power-users. There is a non-proprietary option that is many years ahead, along with another proprietary browser marketing to the same niche demographic. Good luck to them.

What a shame they went with GTK. Not only does it look awful but it looks awful on KDE too despite me being able to make KDE not look awful.
