Masked: This package is masked.

Reason: Upstream abandoned. Kagi ended Orion for Linux on 2026-10-02 and ships no further updates, security fixes included; its own advice is not to use the Linux beta as a main browser: https://blog.kagi.com/update-orion-linux-windows The bundled WebKit is therefore frozen at the April 0.3.0 bundle, in a program whose whole job is to render untrusted content. icu-compat and libjxl-compat exist only to satisfy orion-bin's Flatpak ABI; nothing else in the tree depends on them, so they go with it. Kagi promised to open-source the code within 30 days. If that yields a free license and a maintained fork, the way back is a from-source package, not this -bin. Removal on 2026-11-04.

Package Information

Description:: Orion is a WebKit-based browser by Kagi, able to run Chrome and Firefox extensions. Upstream publishes Linux builds only as a Flatpak; this package unpacks that bundle and installs it as a native package, using the system GTK, GStreamer and GLib rather than a runtime image. The payload is proprietary and bundles its own WebKit, which is pinned to older ICU and libjxl ABIs -- those come from dev-libs/icu-compat and media-libs/libjxl-compat.
