Orion Browser by Kagi 17+

I came across Orion after switching from Google to Kagi search engine, and am fully on board with the privacy angle. I’m now using Orion across both iOS and macOS, and have found it to be fast, user friendly, and a nice way to escape the Google ecosystem whilst having more features than Safari. I believe earlier versions were a bit buggy but I’ve not had any issues on mobile. I do miss the DuckDuckGo Burn button to clear out cookies - Orion has something similar with a clear cookies option but has totally missed the point of the burn button as there’s no way to “fireproof” websites. Hopefully this will get implemented at some point - I’d encourage the devs to use DuckDuckGo for a few days to truly comprehend why it’s a powerful and desirable feature in a privacy oriented browser, as it lets you destroy tracking cookies across all random websites whilst staying logged in to all the websites you trust. Looking forward to seeing this product develop over time…

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

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.
