You do not need your own browser. Keep Firefox alive.

Mozilla is digging a grave for Firefox with its own hands, we need something else non-chromium, which Orion serves fine. I just wish they'd focus on fewer things as has already been mentioned, rather than producing many half-baked things.
I have high hopes for ladybird being our savior in this regard.
I beg to differ. The web does not need more ad-supported browsers. Orion is built for the users and paid for by the users.

It stands against all that is wrong with the web today - advertisers and third parties tracking at every step - perhaps like Firefox used to do 15-20 years ago.

We need more of Orion today, and more than ever.

Thank you for making Firefox plugins available for iOS.

I pay for search, but not Orion. I assume you see that much of my paid Kagi search traffic comes from Orion, and put money into appropriate buckets.

I think the community needs more browser options, sure, but I don't understand why Kagi needs Orion. It seems like a distraction to your core competencies. I'm curious if the writing is on the wall for search alone?
