The 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.
Safari has extensions. Apple has just made them incredibly difficult to find by burying them in the Mac App Store.

I still run macOS on desktop but use a patched bitwarden_rs to store my passwords. I can also use it from Android and Linux.

It's a good idea to move to a cross-platform password manager, so that your passwords don't result in OS vendor lock-in. I still run macOS on desktop but use a patched bitwarden_rs to store my passwords. I can also use it from Android and Linux.

#144I don't see any mention of developer tools, but in case anyone working on this is here, that's something that would probably be interesting to the HN crowd. Since the home page has a screenshot of HN, I'm guessing devs are the target market.
In my experience most browsers based on these major engines, like Vivaldi, Edge or whatever have broken dev tools. You'd be better using Safari for that imo.

I've (M1/16GB MBA) got my usual 40+ tabs open and Brave is only using 536MB of memory. It's rock solid. I use G-Suite/Workplace and everything has been buttery smooth since I turned off Brave's crypto/BAT notifications. I agree that keychain is the only reason I still use Safari for some things (and perfect sync with iPhone), but I lean more on 1Password these days.
Are you sure you're not just looking at the main process?

I moved from Safari to Firefox because if you're not using iCloud Keychain, the passwords Safari saves are not backed up properly with Time Machine: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24626562 So I hope that, unlike Safari, Orion uses the Login rather than the Local Items keychain.

Why is Raymond Hill not working on uBlock anymore? Why is there uBlock and uBlock Origin?
He stopped working on it and gave it away to someone else, who promptly used it to raise "donations". This led him to decide to fork back the project under the name "uBlock Origin".

Yeah horses for courses I guess. I always try to use the cross-platform solution whenever I can but not everyone seems to care about that and are seemingly fine about being locked in.
