The Most Private Browser Yet? Live Testing Kagi's Orion Browser App - FTK 4
Season 2 · Episode 4
vendredi 25 avril 2025 • Duration 30:35
Welcome to Freedom Tech Weekend! In this live session we put Kagi’s new Orion Browser through its paces and ask a simple question: can you finally ditch Chrome, Firefox or Brave without sacrificing speed?
You’ll hear:
- Real-time install & first-launch on macOS
- A deep dive into Orion’s zero-telemetry promise and the independent Size-of-Cat privacy audit
- Side-by-side comparison with Firefox, Brave and Safari privacy matrices
- Live network-traffic sniffing that instantly flagged a tracker on my own site (😅)
- How Orion’s built-in content blocker, WebKit engine and iCloud-synced keychain work together
- Why paying for software like Kagi Search flips the incentives in your favor
Stick around to the end for a sneak preview of next week’s Bitwarden + Vaultwarden password-manager showdown and a quick demo of Maple AI — our fully encrypted AI chat that keeps client data off Big Tech servers. Try it free at https://trymaple.ai.
Freedom Tech Weekend is all about helping you migrate off proprietary, data-hungry services and onto sovereign, open-source tools you control. Hit Subscribe and ring that bell so you never miss a privacy upgrade!
