Then userland programs triggering kernel panics are good, since they make your kernels more bugfree and secure, aren't they?
They are good when you are stress testing your setup. They are bad if you are just trying to browse the damned website

Re: Orion Browser by Kagi
#142As a paying Kagi user, please don't waste my money on this when Firefox already exists.
This is how I feel about Vlad's statement on their Discord that he wants to provide email services. That strikes me as a big project in terms of both development and operations, somewhat contrary to their privacy focus, and not something that their users are asking for (on Discord, I'd say that most commenters said they were unlikely to use it any time soon, switching would be too much of a hassle). And while I subsc…
I use Orion as my daily driver (because of the nested tree view), but Kagi Search is more important to me, and I don't want to see that go down under the weight of a bunch of distractions.

#143I would love to see the Value Prop of this vs. Brave. (NOTE: I pay for a Kagi Unlimited Subscription).
To be fair, Brave seems to have genuinely tried, but, seems to be failing to reach sustainablility judging by their various pivots. They've tried to walk the line of leaning toward the user while middlemanning revenue ideas to said user. BAT and crypto, VPN, messaging sales, now search+ads. The market seems to be saying no thanks from what I can see from the outside.
Orion, in straight up exchange for cash via donation and Kagi subsidization, offers to be entirely the user's agent.

This. Meet works better with Chrome, so I used to have chrome for Meet only, and Firefox for everything else.
At this point I keep a chromium based browser around as my google apps portal, and nothing else.

We're already in Chromelandia. We'd be near 100% if it wasn't for Safari mobile.
Re: Orion Browser by Kagi
#146I am hopeful for its development but it’s not a daily driver for me. Too many bugs, not a large enough team to support it. When I have looked at the support forum the developer is sometimes a little hostile about bugs/issues, enough so that I don’t care to report my own issues. This is a subjective statement your experience may differ.

#147I would try it if they supported Linux.

For me the highest stopper is that it does not really work with Google Meet and it is not clear if it is a Webkit bug or not. Apart from that, I could probably use it as a daily driver.

I use meet as seldom as possible (basically just when a client, partner org etc sets up a call) but it still adds up to at least 2 or 3 a week at minimum. I wasn't interested in those feature popups the first time I'm definitely not interested now after you've been showing them to me 2 or 3 times a week for the last year or so. There doesn't seem any way to make it stop though.

My "favourite" feature about Meet is that it takes me through all these self-satisfied feature announcement popups to explain to me how all these different things work. every. single. call.

Re: Orion Browser by Kagi
#150As far as I know, Orion is the only iOS compatible browser that lets you load extensions from the Chrome store and possibly Firefox as well although I'm not sure about that.
