Yes - but why do it is the main point?

Why not focus on doing one thing properly?

Although you seem to obviously be attracting enough money so it's up to you how to spend/burn it :)

Because I think you can not succeed as a search company without a browser. And I think that both and Orion and Kagi have proper focus. There are bugs yes, but they are not there due to lack of focus, otherwise every product out there has lack of focus.

  • I think this comment is the one that finally made Orion click for me from a business perspective. Without it you're sharecropping on land owned by your direct competitors who fund their browsers through money coming in from search. If you ever encroach on their revenue even a little bit they'll fight you tooth and nail.

    I think it's a crazy ambitious bet but I can see why you're making it.
