What a shame they went with GTK. Not only does it look awful but it looks awful on KDE too despite me being able to make KDE not look awful.

Oh cool!

Oh.
I mean, they’ve been building Orion around WebKit very deliberately for a while: https://blog.kagi.com/orion
The GTK/GNOME project already has a native WebKit browser, and it's FOSS. Orion will have a hard time fitting in.
Such a bizarre boondoggle for a company that otherwise seems to have smart and focused offerings. They may as well announce a Slack or Jira replacement next.
Orion is their first product, before Kagi.
