Orion Browser has officially moved its Linux version into beta, with Flatpak builds now available for both x86_64 and ARM64 systems.
I’ve been playing with it since I guess towards the start of this year. The latest update still doesn’t make a browser I think is ready to call beta 🤷
I’m keeping an eye on it, but only loosely.
Thanks for telling us; I’ve tried to live with Epiphany for a while but had to move to Firefox for compatibility to certain websites.
If Orion is using GTK4, this looks like a new/second/third/fourth attempt to moving to WebKit. (:
The rendering of pages seems fine, it’s the browser functions that seem missing. As an example, there is no “find in page”. If you press Ctrl+F, nothing happens. Many things work, including their strange tab grouping system that I guess will be their selling point. But I kept coming across the missing little things.
Ok… another WebKit/Blink skin, yawn, these are a dime a dozen.
Is this interesting? You can’t really decrappify browsers without first decrappifying the web.
It is interesting because we are getting a popular web browser on Mac to gnulinux. I am not a big fan of it though because it is nonfree.

I agree with this point a 100%. Wish something like Gemini would succeed (Gemini the protocol, not the google bot). The web is so bloated and “unprivate” if that is a word.
