    Good question! But no, not really.

    What we need more evenly-distributed market share amongs more browsers, so
    that behemoths like IE in the old days or Chrome now, or Safari on iOS, don't get to undermine standards.

    Simply having more browsers doesn't help that.

    I think it's still too early to give a proper review of this new
    Orion browser. As Mark pointed out the iOS version is pretty basic
    still and cannot even import settings from other browsers.

    it can't because everything is sandboxed for security. one app cannot
    access another app's data, by design.

    The macOS
    version at least allows import of Safari's settings apart from
    passwords. it does seem pretty quick though! But, with apologies to
    Diana Ross et al, "Lord, do we need another ....." browser?

    yes. more choice is good.


    F. Russell is the only person I know who had a 'site' intended to embarrass
    me that quickly turned into a mostly empty page with question marks where jpgs/multimedia used to be, and if you clicked it, you would be reading
    about a old post that was deleted for slander.
    What amazing searches - <https://www.bing.com/search?q=dustin%20cook%20functionally%20illiterate%20fraud>

    and <https://duckduckgo.com/?q=dustin+cook+the+functionally+illiterate+fraud>

    Even this works for Dustin Cook: <https://duckduckgo.com/?q=%22functionally+illiterate+fraud%22>
    For crying out loud, just recently he was declaring himself the only "true Linux advocate", and claiming that "advocates" (in mockery-quotes just
    to annoy Glasser Michael Snit) are trying to rewrite Native irc clients
    from scratch. Socks that F. Russell can't prove are Glasser Michael Snit's.
    Why would Glasser Michael Snit, or anyone, create socks to expose what
    we all repeatedly say about F. Russell?

    Public beta just released. Imports Safari data now so worthy of another installation.

    Still in beta but seems to be progressing quite nicely. I'm not sure
    it will ever become my fave browser but worthy of a try out from time
    to time. Now available via Homebrew! <https://formulae.brew.sh/cask/orion>
