  • Honestly when I first heard of Orion, i was stunned by the idea of having both chrome and firefox extensions on iOS and at the idea i would say this browser is my only choice on my iPad.

    But things doesn’t work out as I imagined. The default ad/tracker blocker is not fully functional at blocking even if I use custom rules, so I installed uBlock Origin. To my surprise ubo doesn’t work at all. I then searched web and found in kagi community, some people complain ab this while others saying this is not reproducible. So I would say this is an occasional occurrence but for me it’s just 100% because ubo literally doesn’t block anything on any page. Other extensions I use daily on my desktop ff browser didn’t function either, unfortunately.

    I like Kagi search and the idea of warning trackers on the website and spotting promotional contents is just great. But paying $10 a month only to get results from Google, Bing and mojeek? Not really a big fan of that, I would rather give the money to mojeek to help them improve their search results instead of paying to an aggregator… And they are not even the best aggregator there, I mean there’s selfhosted SearXNG which is unbeatably accurate and would only cost $2/mo on my VPS.




  • I would say ikmail is way WAYYyyy more functional than tuta and proton by being compatible with IMAP/SMTP+CalDAV protolcol. Yeah the protocol which doesn’t support 2FA and encryption but who cares, it’s email.

    They have a mobile client which is available on F-Droid. Very elegant and modern UI which satisfy me even more than Google.

    They have excellent practice on email security by using DNSSEC and DANE on mail server by default.

    Deliverability and spam filtering are also great, competitive with Gmail. Exceeding Outlook and iCloud ofc.

    Drawback being kinda hard to register, if not in the listed countries then just use a VPN. You have to provide your phone number too and couldn’t bypass dialing checking to purchase a higher tier plan afaik. Not for privacy seekers.

    Infomaniak is relatively new in personal email market but has always been underestimated for 3 years since emerging. It’s good to see them finally decide to sell their nice ksuite to personal users as long as companies.
