This blazing-fast, super-private browser delivers a brand new beta - try it for free

The zero-telemetry Orion browser finally makes its way to Linux as a beta release. It's also available for MacOS, iOS, and iPadOS, with a Windows version coming soon.

ZDNET's evaluations of Orion, a lightning-fast and highly private browser, are based on extensive testing and research. Orion, modeled after Apple's Safari, is a free browser available on Linux, MacOS, iOS, and iPadOS, with a Windows version expected soon. This browser stands out for its exceptional speed and robust privacy features, including zero-telemetry and ad-blocking.

Orion+ version offers additional customization options for a monthly, annual, or lifetime fee. Orion's features include link preview, local sync, text editing tool, website settings, and low-power mode. Its tab group feature resembles Opera's Workspaces, allowing better organization. Moreover, Orion supports programmable buttons enabling custom code execution, URL opening, and more.

The browser is currently in its second public beta on Linux, with improvements in stability and new functionalities. Users can install Orion on their Linux distribution using a .flatpak file. Despite some stability issues, Orion's impressive speed, customization, and privacy features make it a promising alternative to other browsers.
