## Key features

- **Safari, Chrome and Firefox extensions:** Orion runs extensions from all three ecosystems, on iPhone and iPad as well as Mac, and keeps a curated gallery of extensions verified to work.
- **Ad blocking and zero telemetry:** Ads and trackers are blocked natively by default, and Kagi states that the browser sends, tracks and collects nothing about its users.
- **Profiles and containers:** Each profile gets its own browser, icon and Dock emoji to separate work from personal use, and containers keep accounts apart without switching browsers.
- **Tree-style tabs and tab previews:** Tabs can sit in a parent-child hierarchy that collapses or closes as a group, be pinned or split into focused windows, and show a visual preview when switching.
- **Focus Mode and per-site settings:** Focus Mode hides the whole interface so a site behaves like a web app, and per-site controls toggle the ad blocker, JavaScript, web fonts and permissions.
- **Sync and Kagi services:** Bookmarks and passwords sync between Orion on Mac, iPhone and iPad without third-party tools, and Kagi Translate translates pages in place.

## Good for

- Apple users who want Chrome and Firefox extensions on a WebKit browser
- People who want built-in ad blocking and no telemetry
- Kagi users who want its search and translation in the browser

## Worth knowing

- The Linux version is in beta, and the Windows version is an alpha that has not been released.
- Custom app icons, the browser border and early access to beta builds are reserved for Orion+ members.
- Orion+ billing runs through a Kagi account, although a Kagi Search subscription is not required.
- On-page and offline translation with Kagi Translate requires macOS 26 or later.
