Orion Browser Brings WebKit Speed and Privacy Focus to Mac Users
Orion Browser Brings WebKit Speed and Privacy Focus to Mac Users
Kagi, best known for its telemetry-free search engine, has released version 1.0 of Orion, its privacy-focused browser for Mac. After a long beta period, the WebKit-based browser is aimed at users who want Safari's speed without the data collection that comes with most other options. For users who want an alternative to the Chromium browsers that dominate the market – think Chrome, Edge, and Brave – without sacrificing speed or extension support, Orion could be worth a look. Moreover, unlike some recent browser launches, there's no integration of AI features, and Kagi says it collects no telemetry or usage data of any kind. For a browser claiming zero-bloat, there are some notable features, too. Focus Mode strips away the browser interface to turn any website into a distraction-free app, while Link Preview lets you peek at links from mail or notes without actually opening a new tab. You can set up separate profiles that keep work, personal browsing, and everything else completely isolated. Not only that, the browser also works with Chrome and Firefox extensions. Orion is free to download and use, and also comes with 200 free searches on Kagi's premium search engine, while an optional Orion Plus subscription at $5 per month unlocks floating windows that stay on top of other apps, custom icons, and offers early access to new features. Kagi's six-person team developed Orion over five years (the first two years handled by a single developer). The company plans to expand documentation and add new features over the coming year. You can grab it over on the Orion website, while iPhone and iPad versions can be downloaded from the App Store.Tag: WebKit This article, "Orion Browser Brings WebKit Speed and Privacy Focus to Mac Users" first appeared on MacRumors.com Discuss this article in our forums

#StrangerThings is not fucking around. #NoSpoilers

Just finished the released episdoes of Season 5.

If you enjoyed the previous ones, get this one in you.

If you don’t remember it well, it’s well worth binge-watching the previous seasons again to remind yourself. #TVSky #TVShowstodon

All the “problems” he’s talking about are purely the fault of advertising companies, who also want all your PII to on-sell.

All this device does is scoop up all your PII, and more than traditional devices can get.

He is the problem he’s claiming to solve.

That’s two discord servers in less than a week I’ve left over moderators being complete fuckwits about using mod tools over silly superstitions.

JFC, superstition and jinxes are make believe. Pure fantasy.

Do NOT use moderation tools about them. Do NOT use moderation tools as jokes.

Who the fuck approves this shit? Do they not do ANY spot checking on this at all? Or do they think these errors are part of the charm?

I hope whoever approved it gets reamed for the double-costs of having it removed & re-done.

Friends don’t let friends use AI slop.

There's a reddit thread about this from 4 months ago www.reddit.com/r/facebook/c... - the conclusion there seems to be that the combination of "mega" and "drive" is doing it because of the now-defunct Megaupload
From the facebook community on Reddit: What does “Iomega Zip Drive” have anything to do with CP? Or am I dealing with a drunk AI doing janitorial work?

They’re going to use this ONE person to justify -everything- ICE & Nat Guard have done over the last 11 months, & justify ramping it up even further over the next 11.

Even though this wouldn’t have happened if not for everything ICE & NG have done the last 11 months. #USPol

I love* the new trend in video streaming apps of requiring 3+ clicks on the back button just to get back to the episode selection screen.

Enshittification rather than user-forward features.

They really are making torrenting an easier option.

It amazes me that terms and conditions are actually held legally liable. Because -nobody- reads them or changes anything they do based on it. “Click here to accept our terms” should be held as liable as your boomer uncle’s declarative FB post.
Additionally, OpenAI argues its not liable because Raine, by using ChatGPT for self-harm, broke its terms of service

Just a heads up, but if you are at the point of authoritarian consolidation where the fascist paramilitary troops are destroying security cameras and evidence of their crimes, not just publicly, but in court as well, you are far past the point where this ends peacefully

Translation: People are mocking Elon Musk to his face at parties, then telling him they're getting it from Grok as "roasts".
Elon Musk claims Grok's "epic vulgar roasts" can "make people really laugh at a party" so I took him up on it and used my coworkers as guinea pigs: www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

NSW Hunting Bill likely to pass at 3am

Despite undertakings from Premier Chris Minns about standing behind NSW’s strong guns laws, he is now trying to force an all-night sitting so that the Hunting Bill is passed under the cover of darkness, likely at 3 AM with no one watching.

Seeing media people post praise for Bevan Shields’ run at SMH so I genuinely want to know was it the starting by outing a queer woman, directly telling journalists to lie about a union strike or the genocide denial that made it a ‘great run at a hard job’?

My unpopular opinion is that we don't really know any more about foreign accounts manipulating U.S. politics on Twitter than we did before this update. There's no way of knowing who specifically used a VPN and who didn't. It's obvious that this is a problem but we don't have better data on it now.

Those who don't know by now don't care and won't ever care. Places don't need to keep explaining what X is.

I also don't get people who keep calling it Twitter. I thought the rename was a nice delinneation between what it used to be and now is.
