Orion 1.0 – Browse Beyond

I tried Orion before and It was good to me. The closed-source part It is also something I don't like. I wish they do the browser open-source. I want to see if they use rust underneath :p.

Although, let's be honest few people look at the entire codebase. However i believe It would be beneficial to make It open-source for them so they could have contributors. Also new features would be easier to add. For example, i know some protocols like Multicast QUIC which was almost impossible to be added in Safari and Chrome.

By the way, I am trying right now Orion on MacOS and it goes quite fast as now. Actually, it is faster than Firefox at least when trying against speed.cloudflare.com under a VPN. Nonetheless the speed difference is not significant.

Also, there are two features which I would like to know/see in Orion:

- I use quite a lot the Containers and Group tabs in Firefox. The containers allow me to have different active accounts in the same browser. I use it a lot when managing AWS accounts.

- Change the behaviour of Cmd+Shift+F to be the same as Firefox, doing the full screen instead of the hide the tabs.
