Was initially excited about this project but their reticence to open source has really diminished that. The browser is far too critical a piece of personal infrastructure to be closed. Still hoping they open the whole thing, at which point I'll become an Orion+ subscriber immediately.

Until then, thanks but no thanks.

> Orion isn’t a recoloured Chromium or another Firefox fork, but a native Linux app built in GTK4/libadwaita and WebKitGTK, with platform-level integration.

Isn't it just a recoloured Safari (through WebKit)? Why is Chromium/Firefox bad but WebKit OK for this argument?

Probably just because it’s the smallest of the three and the least tethered to Google.
