Summary / Read source ↗

- The Orion browser will discontinue development of the Linux and Windows versions and make the source code for these platforms available for anyone to use. - The development team is small, and to focus resources on Orion development for macOS and iOS, they are stopping development of the Windows and Linux versions. - The Linux beta version will receive official updates until 2026 year October 2, and after that, the community can continue the project. - The Windows version of Orion was originally scheduled for release at the end of 2026 year, but Kagi will not release it directly; instead, development will proceed by the community after the source code is released.

Editorial opinion startupxo

The decision to open-source the Orion browser for Linux and Windows seems like a realistic choice for a small team with limited development resources. The key will be how actively users and developers engage to keep the project alive after the source is made public. I'm particularly curious about what measures might be taken for those who continue using it beyond the point when security updates stop.
