I use it as my main browser on Mac and iOS since some time. It's stable enough, but there are _some_ sites that will not work. They are very few, but it happens. When it happens at…

The main benefit is that Orion (contrary to Firefox) has a business model. The downside is that it's not open source. They have some explanation on why, but it might be a deal brea…

Live captions and dubbing can be a game changer for: - non native speakers - moving away from the english-centric web - impaired people

I second Bitwarden. It works well, and it even has a business model.

You can and you should. There are people that are happy to pay for email, for search, for videos, for news, for music. I don't see why there wouldn't be people happy to pay for a b…

Working at Mozilla should be more than money. $200k/year is more than enough to be happy in most of the world. You don't need to compete on rock stars that must live in San Francis…

I mean, you can try the product, sure. And then decide depending on the price. But would invest time into a product that doesn't even a pricing page?

Maybe that instead of protesting against the regulation we should ask the platforms to provide ads-free and algorithm-free service to kids under 16.

> The data on social media harms is mixed at best. We know for a fact fast food, cosmetic ads for girls, are strictly more harmful. True, but let me remind you that we didn't have …

This should be the first and most important question anyone asks when trying a new product/service. If I don't understant the business model and how much I could be locked-in, I do…

You should try Kagi for this experience.

Yes, but it's not common knowledge. The content disaster needs to be wide and strong, so that the impact is not negligible for most of the people.

I believe that we will soon live in a future where the content will be fake by default and we will validate the authenticity by looking at the reputation of the source. Each time w…

It's Scott Adams, creator of Dilbert https://dilbertblog.typepad.com/the_dilbert_blog/2007/07/car...

There are dialects, but they are more similar to different languages rather than different pronunciations. For instance dialect of Piedmont, my region, are somehow similar to Frenc…

I agree. As an Italian (where you read exactly what you say and you say exactly what you read) it was straightforward to read. I have always wondered why English has so many weird …

I use both kagi and Orion, both on mobile and Mac, and I have to say that there a few bugs. On the other hand, paying for a software and a service feels good. My only real complain…

Ah, sorry I spoiled it out. I saw on Reddit and thought it was great (like a lot of other Kagi things). Keep up the good work!

Solo developer, no ads, no subscription. Take my money! And thanks for writing decent software.

years of experience and iterations

I have no numbers. I remember that it was designed to be very efficient and easy to maintain, but this was before Meta bought it. Things probably changed, and keep in mind that the…

True, but they are a much smaller service. I remember that WhatsApp was designed to be lean and very efficient so that it would run on a small number of servers. But this it differ…

I think this is two sided topic: - on one side there is the increasing number of features in WhatsApp that nobody asked for and that make the experience worse and worse, I agree. Y…

I agree for the index, much less for the browser. I'm using Orion since a few months and beside some occasiona bugs I wouldn't ask anything more. If it was open source it would be …
