Orion Browser by Kagi

Kagi is in the “this is fucking awesome” part of a tech company lifecycle.

Just waiting for passkey support before I switch!

I've been using it for a while as my main browser and it suffers from all of the usual issues that early development stage browsers have: bugs, memory leaks. The bugs are nasty as well, I'm sometimes forced to switch back to Firefox: one example is once there was a build that crashed my browser when I opened a new tab in tree view.

The extension support is in progress as well. UBlock Origin and BitWarden work, but YNAB Toolkit doesn't work too well.

Overall if you are okay with alpha/beta testing a browser it's fine, but if not, stick with Firefox.

Looks of the browser are pretty great and it has built-in most the features you would need.

Some extensions do not work. E.g. BitWarden autofill does not work either as Chrome or Firefox extension. Some websites get laggy. Sometimes ChatGPT page lags so much that is unusable. Also if you browse GitHub, some views will lag very much, and make it unusable. Maybe some day it will be competitive also in compatibility.

But since it is MacOS only, I always will need to use many browsers...

Developing a complex product like a browser without telemetry will be hard. Especially if they are trying to commit to objectives like using minimal battery or memory. There are many many different websites so its hard to predict what your users are using the browser for.
