I mean, they’ve been building Orion around WebKit very deliberately for a while: https://blog.kagi.com/orion

The GTK/GNOME project already has a native WebKit browser, and it's FOSS. Orion will have a hard time fitting in.

Such a bizarre boondoggle for a company that otherwise seems to have smart and focused offerings. They may as well announce a Slack or Jira replacement next.

Orion is their first product, before Kagi.

What a shame they went with GTK. Not only does it look awful but it looks awful on KDE too despite me being able to make KDE not look awful.
