The Most Private Browser Yet? Live Testing Kagi's Orion Browser App - FTK 4

30 minutes

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.
