   So many bugs to fix

   The idea of a productivity based browser is great but since this browser is still new, it has trouble with a lot of things. Sometimes it doesn't open a new tab when i try, sometimes web apps don't open, and overall its not a smooth experience that i could recommend to people

   🏁 Competitors: Vivaldi, Mozilla Firefox, Brave

   👍 Pros:    Everything you need is in the homepage|Looks really pretty|Focuses on productivity|Has control over ram usage and data|A search option that searches all throughout your history, bookmarks, web and everything

   👎 Cons:    A buggy performance|Short term freezes|Might need some time getting used to the web apps

• Making Twitter likes/bookmarks backup tool as side quest of offline first browser (that saves everything)

  I've been developing frontend in-memory graph DB / state manager for 1) replication 2) incremental sync 3) fast rendering (without VDOM/react). Used in https://seesu.me & https://meetsidekick.com (where I was 1st engineer). Source: over 1 year ago

• Making Twitter likes/bookmarks backup tool as side quest of browser that saves everything

  To make snapshot it takes current state of DOM, current state of styles (to capture CSS-in-JS stuff), take resources like font/images from network storage (Chrome Dev Tools protocol) and saves it as HTML on disk.

• OpenAI just replaced its core values with completely different ones

  The Orion browser might be an answer https://browser.kagi.com/ I haven't personally tried this browser as I'm on Android but heard of it as I'm a Kagi subscriber. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• Vivaldi Takes a Bite Out of the Apple: Introducing Vivaldi on iOS

  It sure seems most browser makers aren't trying very hard with the WebKit thing to still be themselves. Check out https://browser.kagi.com/ for one that wraps WebKit with web extensions and other goodness in a unique brand feeling browser. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

• Vivaldi Takes a Bite Out of the Apple: Introducing Vivaldi on iOS

  Orion is the first browser on iOS that has convinced me to move away from safari. From the Kagi team, and admittedly still in beta, it's fast, rejects telemetry, and allows install of Chrome and Firefox extensions. The built-in pop up and blocking is great, and nukes YT ads too. Still a little rough around the edges (sometimes freezes; restart it; and switching orientation is slow), but the pros outweigh the cons.... - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

• YouTube's crackdown on ad blockers intensifies

  I'm trying out Orion by Kagi: https://browser.kagi.com/ They're WebKit-based and for MacOS/iOS/iPadOS only, so they don't get max points for browser diversity, and I can't run it on my Linuxes. As far as I understand, they plan to target more operating systems, and to target the most popular add-ons for other browsers. I'm not satisfied until it supports an OS-agnostic (non-sucky, no thank you 1Password) password... - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago
