Kagi Ends Orion Browser Development for Linux and Windows, Plans Open-Source Handover

Original: Kagi ends development of Orion Browser for Linux and Windows, with plans to open-source both versions and hand them over

Search company Kagi has stopped developing its Orion browser for Linux and Windows. The company says it plans to release the code for both versions as open source and hand the projects over to the community rather than continue maintaining them in-house. The move affects users of the privacy-focused browser on those platforms, who will now depend on community stewardship if development continues at all.

Why now: Kagi's decision to drop official Orion support on major platforms and open-source the code is significant news for the browser's user base and the open-source community.
