    I never donated to Mozilla so can’t really complain. At the same time I’m 17yo so never had much chance of being financially sustainable to afford any monthly subscriptions/donations.

    I’m using Orion on my Mac at the moment and Firefox on my Arch laptop + Fennec on my GrapheneOS phone (need the extensions that are not supported on Vanadium).

    Even if Orion is not open-source, Kagi is really making good software so I think I’m gonna pay for it so it lasts during time. Is there a way to verify they’re not selling data?

    They’re going to open-source someday I think, I really need to start helping them financially because I like what they make.

    Might be an alternative for Mac users.

      Your privacy FAQ link says they do not send telemetry back – that claim could be tested by using network inspection tools like Wireshark if you know what you’re doing.

        I really need go get to doing it ehehe. It’s been sitting on my todo list for too long.

        I wouldn’t mind them sending telemetry to tailor the product to their user’s need though. I wonder how they collect this without sending requests
