People interested in this might also be interested in Orion from the Kagi team: https://kagi.com/orion/
Orion is built on Webkit, has a focus on privacy, built in ad blocking, and runs on macOS and iOS. It also has a lot of other interesting features baked in, although the last time I tried it I ran across a couple of glitches too (to be fair, it's in beta and under active development). Another point of favour of Orion is the Kagi team is clear it's strictly funded by users and there's an "Orion+" thing where you can subscribe and get access to RC builds.
It doesn't seem to be clearly stated, but I think Quetta is built on Chrome? I'm not thrilled with the ongoing march of Chrome as the universal core of every nominally independent browser. And they also seem to be a bit cagey about what their monetisation plans are, which might be an oversight but is a little concerning.
Wish Kagi just focused on Search. I don't see how building both a search engine and a browser is possible with a startup team. I tried Orion a lot of times but there's still too many bugs for me to switch over from Arc.
I, too, found it buggy, but I don’t agree that they should only focus on search. Chrome is proof of how important a search engine is to a browser, and vice versa.
We should welcome browser competition to fight against Google’s dominance, and if there’s a company I trust to have my best interests in mind for this job it’s Kagi.
What is so wrong with product managers writing this lies? Do they know that there's an important thing called trust exists? Do they care a bit about its meaning?
