An Update on Orion for Linux and Windows
Kagi is ending development of its Orion browser for Linux and Windows to focus resources on macOS and iOS. The company plans to open-source the code for the discontinued platforms to allow community-led development.
Why it matters
This decision reflects the challenges small, independent software companies face when maintaining cross-platform support without venture capital backing.
Today we have an important update. We are ending development of Orion for Linux and Windows, and we're open-sourcing both so the community can carry them forward. Kagi is stepping back from developing these platforms directly so our team can put more focus on Orion for macOS and iOS .
Orion is built by a very small team, just a handful of developers, funded entirely by Kagi users. We also chose to build it the hard way by not forking Chromium. That independence matters more than ever. The web needs more than one engine, and more than one company deciding what a browser should be.
