Orion Browser by Kagi 17+

This app has the five features that I really wanted over browsers some of them already have it first support for chrome and Firefox extensions. This is not in Safari. It’s not even on chrome or Firefox or brave. Second feature built anti-tracking protection only this browser has it third feature support for more than one extension the other way I found did not work and it would only let me use one extension. I can’t remember what they were called, monitoring monitoring is not included in any web browsers. The last feature is when I leave the page because sometimes I just want to follow along with tech tutorials.

I’ve been using Orion as my daily driver on both macOS and iOS for a couple of months now right after subscribing to the devs’ other project, Kagi. I want to support independent browsers and I want to have extensions on iOS, but the app is too unstable atm. I’m fine with a few bugs on a desktop app, but on a smaller screen they become too much of an annoyance. Things that made me stop using it : tabs from previous session will randomly either disappear/close or turn blank, i.e the tabs are there but now open all on the “start page”; most extensions don’t really work; the sync when it works is incredibly slow (I know the devs say this is due to iCloud sync, but other browsers do it better, so it’s painful to get used to); I use my phone browser only when away from my main machine, and often I just need to quickly open something so that I can continue on the other machine. With Orion I find that most of the time I’m having to airdrop stuff or add stuff to reminders to make sure they don’t disappear which ruins the seamless experience of other browsers. I’ll keep using the macOS app and I’m hoping that the devs get enough support to make it better

I love the privacy feature and how well the mobile and desktop versions work together. But I wish the design resembled Safari even further or if there was an option to make it as close to safari as it can be, with the reading list below the bookmarks in a list and the buttons at the bottom having the same layout.

Also, in the UK we spell “favorites” with a U ;)
