Been using Brave for many 5 years now but this could easily become my new default browser.
Kagi Search is amazing but I’m almost completely on Linux now so I’ll have to wait on this browser
I tried it for a bit but it didn’t seem materially better than DDG for my purposes. What do you like about it?
It’s okay. I like the vertical tabs. Sadly, extensions are buggy and I can’t get Vue Dev Tools to run, which is needed for work. Kagi search is really nice though. Switched to usit exclusively.
Orion is about to release in-place window switching that sorta matches up with Arc's behavior, but I still prefer Arc as the command palette UX, as well as being able to use back/forward mouse buttons to switch 'in-place' windows, is just the superior affordance.
Installed it an I love the focus mode - I just wish I didn't have to leave it when checking how many tabs were secretly opened or when manually navigating to another site with "command-l". Been using Brave for many 5 years now but this could easily become my new default browser.
But I’ve slowed my transition lately, since Brave now offers vertical tabs if you set the flag. Would love to see true tree-style tabs, but even just vertical tabs makes me much less likely to switch away.

I’ve been slowly transitioning to Orion from Brave, and my only complaint is that Orion doesn’t handle mailto links correctly. Otherwise it’s great, and I like the mobile-desktop linkage.

Small thing, but the footnote references render incorrectly for me: they're rendered as normal-sized text, rather than small superscript. Separately: what does an "X" on "zero telemetry by default" mean for Firefox? My understanding/distant memory is that Firefox asks users to enable developer metrics, but that it's (1) opt in, and (2) distinct in kind from the telemetry the other browsers might collect by default.
The devil is in the details. Firefox still phones home a lot.

macOS-native vertical tabs were a big win for me too, and like yourself, its WebExtensions API is a win over Safari OOTB but there are Chrome extensions I really rely on that don't work, some as a result of the differences between Webkit and Blink themselves, so I find myself drawn to Arc browser where I get, IMO, a much more robust UI where vertical tabs are the default and the command palette in place of an address…
1. The download button doesn't work on Pale Moon / WhiteStar browser (v32.0.0) - clicking it does nothing. Perhaps it is a bug or some settings I enabled. But it should be a no-brainer that a Browser company design a site that works fine in all browsers so that others can download and switch to it easily!
2. Orion is still very buggy and keeps freezing occasionally. Cannot use it as a daily driver.
3. The uBlock Origin extension still doesn't work perfectly (if at all). That should be a priority, and not just a marketing talking point.
4. Please display / add version number on the website and the download file.
I still recommend it to others but you guys need to produce a stable version soon.
