"Writing manifestos about the state of the industry has never really been our thing." Except, their website feels like a big ol manifesto. And when I read it the first time, I got excited.

But the more I read stuff like this, the more suspicious I get, and I get hit by manifesto fatigue. I want to see the product, and I would love to see something new in the browser world.

The vision is beautiful, and I'm curious to see how that turns into a usable product. I'm pretty sure I don't want my go-to browser to be an artwork or a build-it-yourself type of thing.

Function often comes before the feeling for a reason. A restaurant can't exist without its functionality. That "beloved dish that never fails" is not a feeling but a good product.

I have a strong feeling this will be a very niche product. I would also love to be proven wrong.

If you want to see the browser, you can do so here: https://browser.kagi.com

(And if you're on MacOS, you can actually try it. I haven't.)

Kagi/Orion is a different organization and a different browser.

Orion is WebKit, thebrowsercompany’s Arc browser is Chromium.

Oh whoops, you're completely right! Both just happen to be browsers I recently came across. Sorry!
