Just a reminder, any time you see a "tech" youtuber with brave installed, they're not going to be an excellent source of information

What browser signifies an excellent source of information? Ice weasel? w3m?

Lynx

Haha, my browser is called curl

I have Orion (macOS only for the time being) and it’s sooo good.

The amazing part is that it even works as a daily driver if you’re a not-so-techie person/normal user… but then on top there are all these little extra features and optimizations that make it like Safari if Safari was actually good.

I would at this point a) not be able to go back to either Safari or Firefox (edit: nor Ungoogled Chromium) as well as b) immediately trust an Orion user on most of what they have to say about a “tech” related opinion :D

Based on your comment, I've just downloaded Orion to give it a shake. Very much enjoyed the OS X-esque intro video. Took me right back to installing Snow Leopard for the first time.

Sounds interesting. I’d thought I’d heard of all the browsers that exist lol. Gonna give it a spin .

Wow, Orion is pretty slick! And Orion+ doesn't offer any actual features aside from early access and input on the roadmap. So far so good. Custom buttons is really cool, built in tree style tabs is slick. Also!! orion has workspaces that are as good if not better than vivaldi's! This is really slick, thanks for sharing

Brodie Robertson is an excellent source of information ☹️

Except in terms of browser choice apparently. Either they're ignorant or being paid. Either way it's not a good sign.
