alt Hacker News> why not put that effort into a browser that actually has a chance to tilt the scales a bit, like Zen?
Zen is a Firefox (skin? fork?), and the Firefox community is their own niche (and IMHO, more Linux/Windows-focused rather than Mac). I think Kagi's focus on Mac made WebKit a natural choice, even though Firefox would've been the more platform-independent choice (as in being able to make the one browser for all three platforms, rather than bringing one to Mac, then another to Linux and to Windows).
Firefox has never really felt at home to me on Mac. I've used Safari (and previously Orion) ever since letting go of Chrome for most personal use.
FWIW, I find Zen on macOS to have much less of that uncanny clunky foreign feel that Firefox and its brethren such as Thunderbird on macOS have never been able to shake. It’s no Camino[0], but it’s the closest thing I’ve seen since to a Gecko browser that feels like it actually belongs on macOS.
I’d rather see Orion continue to be developed alongside Zen though, because goodness knows we need more non-Chromium browsers.
