  • From reading the thread, it looks like they are dodging the question of what features will be restricted to the commercial license versions (“case-by-case basis” apparently). They keep repeating “no change to people using the app currently”, “no change to self-hosting right now”, etc., but it doesn’t inspire confidence.

    I would recommend to read the thread and ask questions there if you have any, but I would definitely have a backup plan ready.

    The KeePass ecosystem is awesome and it’s what I use, it’s local-first and you can use Syncthing to have passwords across many devices. KeePassXC for desktop (+ browser extension if you need it), KeePassDX on Android (w/ Syncthing-fork), and if you use iOS, you have KeePassium and Strongbox (w/ Synctrain). The iOS apps are more limited, blame Apple for their restrictive ecosystem and high entry fee.


  • One of the only reasons why Orion is neat, it’s the only one out of the lot in iOS that supports extensions, since on iOS, all the browsers are based on WebKit. It’s not particularly great otherwise, it’s just Safari with extensions support + a couple productivity things after all, and it’s closed-source (it doesn’t look like the iOS app will go FOSS any time soon)

    On Android, we have a duopoly instead, which isn’t that much better, but at least one of the two (Firefox) allows extensions on mobile browsers.

    And there’s no reason why you should use Orion on a desktop OS, since better options are plentiful (Firefox and forks, even Chromium ones like Helium or Ungoogled Cr)

    I do hope that some of the tricks in Orion could be used in Linux browsers that are actually good, especially for mobile Linux! Firefox does work on it, but only with tweaks (and even then, it’s not fantastic compared to something like GNOME Web)
