> We also chose to build it the hard way by not forking Chromium

Are they building off firefox/servo/ladybird? I couldn’t find a quick answer but the ios/mac Orion is based on WebKit (I guess webkit is further up the fork ancestry than Chromium)?

Kde html -> webkit -> blink (which is the html of chrome). There is a huge work around the mere rendering engine, to the point that its way more common to fork the whole browser rather than just the low level engine.

Sad :( I don't really care that much because I wouldn't switch from Firefox anyway, and I don't blame Kagi at all. But still -- a shame!
