Orion for Linux Beta 0.3 is Here!

This is a big moment for Orion. After months of building, testing, and iterating with a smaller group of early users, we’re opening the doors: Orion for Linux is now in Public Beta – available to everyone.

Core browsing is in place, key features are coming together, and Orion is now ready for broader, real-world use and feedback.
