I’ve been using Orion on Mac and iPhone. It’s a WebKit browser by Kagi that has support for Firefox and chrome extension. I recently switched because I don’t know how much longer I can trust Firefox. I still use Firefox, but every time I need to go digging through privacy setting to find some weird thing the enabled by default, I get more skeptical of how trustworthy they will be soon.
I’m sure Kagi is no better, but they have a revenue stream that comes from a paid service, so I want to think they have a better incentive to not taint the product with gimmicks and spying in order to stay afloat.
I don't have Mac, tbh. And yeah, Firefox may be compromised in the future, though currently not now. I just want a browser that's faster and can do more.
Yeah I get that, I still use Firefox on my Windows and Linux machines. Outside of a Firefox fork, I don’t know what else would be worth it. Even then, I am a bit skeptical of forks because I expect them to be victims of attrition especially when it comes to security updates.
ah fair
