What it is
Orion Browser is a WebKit-based browser made by Kagi, with built-in ad blocking, tracker blocking, advanced tracking protection, and fingerprint protection. It supports Chrome Store extensions and cross-device sync, and includes 20 curated extensions described as guaranteed to work. Kagi services for search, translation, and browsing are integrated. Orion describes its browsing model as having zero telemetry, no AI data collection, and no hidden surveillance; it also says it has no ads or third-party deals. The browser is free. Orion+ adds custom icons, browser borders, a community tag, and beta access. Listed Orion+ options are $50 a month or $150, paid once; sales tax applies, and some add-ons may cost extra. Monthly subscriptions renew automatically, with a reminder email before renewal, and subscribers can cancel or change their billing method at any time. Orion is available on iOS and macOS; Linux is in beta and Windows is in alpha development and coming soon.
