Orion 128 - Jul 9, 2024

In this release we are introducing several exciting features. To start off we have integration with Kagi services - namely Universal Summarizer, built natively into Orion. You can activate it by setting Kagi as the default search engine in Orion. Also "Ask Kagi/Ask FastGPT" is now added to search suggestions (can be disabled in Settings -> Search).

We have also added "Page Tweaks" - one place where you can control the look and feel of the page, including a native element blocker, and so much more.

Consider supporting this browser with Orion+ subscription or lifetime license.
