I've been playing with it since I guess towards the start of this year. The latest update still doesn't make a browser I think is ready to call beta 🤷

I'm keeping an eye on it, but only loosely.

Thanks for telling us; I've tried to live with Epiphany for a while but had to move to Firefox for compatibility to certain websites.

If Orion is using GTK4, this looks like a new/second/third/fourth attempt to moving to WebKit. (:

The rendering of pages seems fine, it's the browser functions that seem missing. As an example, there is no "find in page". If you press Ctrl+F, nothing happens. Many things work, including their strange tab grouping system that I guess will be their selling point. But I kept coming across the missing little things.
