Orion browser by Kagi. Closest we have to a Firefox like browsing experience on the iPhone. ๐Ÿ™

Is it chromium based or ff based?

Literally the only option on iOS is WebKit, unless youโ€™re sideloading.

Webkit! It's currently only available on MacOS and iOS/iPadOS.

Isn't every browser on iOS webkit?

[โ€“] provisional@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes but the browser engine isn't really the main selling point. Kagi is building Orion Browser with zero telemetry, native ad blocking, and support for Firefox and Chrome extensions. It's privacy respecting, fast, and extensible. Support for other platforms are also planned.

Thank you all for explaining!

I will note that it does have its issues, and that you may not want to use it as your daily driver if youโ€™re worried about some website breakage. To me, having most of the little extensions I use on Firefox work correctly makes me like it more. I just donโ€™t recommend going in without warnings of some kind. ๐Ÿ™
