Kagi Releases Orion 1.0 for Mac, a Privacy-Focused WebKit Browser

Kagi positions Orion as a fast, zero‑telemetry Mac browser focused on privacy with a native feel.

Overview

  • The app is free to download and includes 200 complimentary Kagi searches without any account sign‑up.
  • An optional Orion+ membership at $5 per month adds floating windows, programmable buttons, custom icons, and early access to new features.
  • Highlighted tools include Focus Mode, Link Preview, per‑page controls via Mini Toolbar and Overflow Menu, and Profiles as Apps for isolated work, personal, and hobby browsing.
  • Kagi says Orion collects no usage data, ships without built‑in ad tech, and keeps AI integrations outside the browser’s core.
  • The published roadmap calls for deeper customization, improved stability and complex web‑app performance, new Orion+ capabilities, and tighter integrations with Kagi’s intelligent tools.
