Any mac users out there who tried this browser? Linux alpha is coming this month so will try it myself then.

It sounds like they are building a new browser from the ground up.

On Linux there is Falkon. Windows too. (QT WebKit) And the reason I won't use this will likely be the same as Falkon. Missing plugins etc. Other than that they are fine. Bitwarden has a desktop app. (Electron? Dunno but it would be ironic) But no auto fill ability. Darkreader? Nope. There may be some limited adblocking, but no greasemonkey type functionality.

Falkon stopped useing QTWebKit a few years ago. Now it's just an other Chromium-based browser.

Aaaah so even less reason to use it sadly.

Orion supports chrome and Firefox plugins

Really, that's actually interesting.
