Last time I had kernel panics was because I had hardware issues. I doubt Orion is causing this.

I actually think it has something to do with webkit and the fact that I use Quartz Debug to disable vsync at all times. I'll try to repro, but anecdotally speaking, my M1 MacBook Pro restarted when I was doing something in the Orion browser and spit out the typical kernel panic "Send to Apple" dialog upon reboot.

That is not kernel panic, just an app crash that was caught and handled by OS.

TIL, I actually didn't realize that. I stand corrected.
