Agreed, pretty meh. Tried my usual accent (the one where natives mostly can’t tell where I'm from) — got 78%. Then went full cartoon russian ‘bad neighborhood’ mode — somehow scored 68%.
Obviously we've managed to orbit the moon. To find the blackhole that replaced the moon just enter lunar orbit and keep firing your thrusters to slow down.
I love Kagi's Orion but it's still not good enough yet to switch off chrome completely. You realize this once you delve deeper, install extensions, and use it as your daily driver.
1) There are a lot of bugs, for starters. I've been using it for many months but had to switch back to Chrome about a year ago due to some unbearable bugs like tabs freezing and sync kept bringing back long-gone tabs. Don't get me wrong, I've reported a dozen issues (I have 50+ started threads on orionfeedback forums), but anyway, I felt like I spent more time reporting bugs than actually doing my stuff.
2) Some needed extensions are broken. It's not like I need that many with weird APIs. Bitwarden has been broken for some time, and Grammarly is still broken (3 years in).
I tried the latest version a few days ago given what's happening with chrome rn, there are some annoyances still. I like Orion (kudos to Kagi team for working on it) and want it to succeed, I believe it just needs more time, I guess.
Fair enough. I've never used Bitwarden or Grammarly. I used to have a lot of crashes, but they've improved in the last 6 months and I never had tabs freezing or ghost tabs, and I always have 300+ tabs open. Maybe our different use styles lead to different outcomes!
You’d need to upgrade the account to a paid one (there will be no charges anyway if you stay within free limits of the ARM offer), which unlocks a different pool to spin up a server in.
Mozilla is digging a grave for Firefox with its own hands, we need something else non-chromium, which Orion serves fine. I just wish they'd focus on fewer things as has already been mentioned, rather than producing many half-baked things.
There are at least 10+ open source kafka UI tools out there, what does your i++ tool try to achieve? Especially, considering it's not open source. "Too complex" is a questionable point for the pros list of a kafka-related tool, to be honest.
I maintain one of these FOSS tools and based on users' feedback, one usually faces the issue of finding just _one_ tool with all the required features, rather than making one's experience less complex (?).
You might wanna take a look at Orion browser by Kagi. Built on WebKit like Safari, but not open-source (yet, as they say). The interesting part is that it supports addons from both Chrome and FF.
As a maintainer I feel like the first tip is not the best approach sometimes. People tend to raise a lot of “I got a problem” issues (well, we all do sometimes) which they solve themselves in a short time (e.g. a misconfiguration). Responding instantly to such sounds inefficient.
Fair point! Rapid response is definitely valuable for thoughtful issues or PRs. For "questions" we try to just ask for more clarifying details or do a brief pointer to documentation. I find it can also be useful to deliberately slow down responses when getting caught in a low value conversation - kinda like rate limiting undesirable traffic to your website <grin>.
