The Early Beta Build of Orion for Linux is Now Available!
We know many of you have been eagerly waiting for a chance to try Orion Browser on Linux, and we’ve been hard at work to make progress behind the scenes. After months of building the foundations, we’re excited to share this early beta with you. It’s our first opportunity to let you get hands-on with the new features we’ve been developing.
What’s included in this early beta
Browsing made smoother
The core of Orion is fully connected to the Linux UI, and basic browsing is ready: you can navigate pages, use back, forward, and refresh actions, and start exploring multiple tabs. This milestone lays the groundwork for a more flexible and powerful tab system.
Staying organized and secure
We’ve added password management, history tracking, and Dark Mode and Focus Mode, giving you more control over your browsing experience. Custom search engines can be defined in Settings > Search, making it easy to search directly from the address bar.
Stability and polish
This early beta also brings several fixes that improve reliability - from preventing crashes when closing pinned tabs to resolving freezes in Website Settings, and ensuring new installations allow creating new tabs without issues.
Note:
Kagi Sync and webKit Extensions are still in development and not supported in Beta

We have wildly different definitions of the word discrimination. The fact of the matter is that doing business with Russian companies funds the Russian war. There's no away around that, and the fact that innocent Russian civilians have to suffer the repercussions of that is tragic, but it's through no fault of the people choosing to boycott. Throwing accusations of discrimination in this situation is asinine.
Stop with this childish nonsense.
I think it is worth noting that while what Russia is doing is evil, they are not the only evil players in the game. So many countries are complicit and actively support Israel (monetarily), and most countries do business with USA (mega)companies (like Google, Microsoft, Meta) even with the current regime.
Definitely!
Boycott everyone! Don't buy anything! Just squat on some land in the woods and live off the land until you die from dysentery!
Like I said earlier, I didn't say that you or anyone else should boycott Kagi. I merely informed everyone for transparency. It's up to you how you compromise your morals, because compromise we all do. I can live without Kagi, and therefore I don't need to pay them. If I can refrain from supporting war and shitty governments, I will do so. That includes avoiding American companies, which I do primarily thorough self-hosting alternatives to big tech software.
Either way, you're a very exhausting person to communicate with so this will be the last time I respond to your comments.
I don't know what else you could have possibly been trying to say...
LOL I don't know what else you could possibly call it.
