Kagi Ends Orion Browser Development for Linux, Will Open-Source It
3 hours ago
- Kagi will stop developing Orion Browser for Linux and Windows and will open-source both versions instead.
- The Linux beta will continue to work until October 2, 2026, but will not receive updates after that date.
- Limited resources and a small team are the main reasons for halting development on non-Apple platforms.
- Orion uses WebKit (not Chromium), making it a unique alternative among browsers.
- Kagi will focus its resources on Orion for macOS and iOS.
- The source code for Linux and Windows will be released within 30 days, with hopes that a community or organization will take over maintenance.
- Kagi does not plan to remain the main maintainer of the open-source projects.
