> Orion isn’t a recoloured Chromium or another Firefox fork, but a native Linux app built in GTK4/libadwaita and WebKitGTK, with platform-level integration.
Isn't it just a recoloured Safari (through WebKit)? Why is Chromium/Firefox bad but WebKit OK for this argument?

Probably just because it’s the smallest of the three and the least tethered to Google.

Was initially excited about this project but their reticence to open source has really diminished that. The browser is far too critical a piece of personal infrastructure to be closed. Still hoping they open the whole thing, at which point I'll become an Orion+ subscriber immediately.
Until then, thanks but no thanks.
