From the Orion FAQ:

> Is Orion open-source?

> We’re working on it! We’ve begun with some of our components and intend to open more in the future.

> Forking WebKit, porting hundreds of APIs and writing a browser app from scratch has been challenging for our small team. Properly maintaining an open-source project takes time and resources we’re short on at the moment, so if you want to contribute at this time, please consider becoming active on orionfeedback.org.

I love Kagi, but I wish they focused on their core product first. Search is a hard problem to nail down and there's no shortage of bugs in Kagi right now, their issue tracker is a solid testament to that. When they spread their attention and resources between multiple products, they run the risk of pulling a Mozilla and shooting themselves in the foot multiple times.

Interesting! So it’s basically like Safari but with actual good web extension support (safari’s answer to extensions is terrible)
