#92A bit of a tangent, but not that much: I loathe the new Safari “tabs”, with as much scare as you can get in those scare quotes. But, I still can’t leave Safari be, as I appreciate the history and Keychain sync with my iOS devices. It’s that tight macOS/iOS integration that makes me stay on Safari, along with the relatively lighter energy usage versus Chrome. This looks nice in terms of using native UIKit elements (pr…
> Keychain sync really does “just work” between iOS and Mac
FWIW so does Lastpass, in my experience :)

Orion has Keychain sync (won't re-use your Safari keychain items obviously) and you can use Sign in with Apple

This can import your passwords from Safari 15 and then can sync with Kagi for iOS which is a bit of a help. For me the biggest loss would be Apple Pay, and “Sign in with Apple” which is incredibly useful for signing up to services while maintaining some level of privacy.
Beta tester here, "Sign in with Apple" works in Orion

#96The one thing that is lacking from Safari is extensions. If this does what I believe then it will be my main browser. Safari adblocking sucks atm.
Am a beta tester, Orion has growing support for WebExtensions API. You can run uBlock Origin and Dark Reader right now, for example.

Yes, but the UI is not the worst new Safari feature: performance is severely degraded too.

#98How well does its autofill integrate with Keychain Services? I think that might be the only compelling reason to use Safari, that and maybe iCloud tabs.
It has writes its own items in Keychain. You can't just pop it open and re-use your Safari Keychain items but you can import them into Orion.

#100Anybody else remember the original Kagi.com? It was an early payment processor for independent software developers. I sold my first shareware license on Kagi. Probably less than ten people in total bought my screensaver, but it inspired me to switch careers to software. RIP OG Kagi!
