I appreciate that #Kagi is developing a unique browser using #GTK and #WebKit. We need more diversity in this area. However, the UI of the #Linux version feels very unpolished, to say the least. It seems as if it were automatically converted from the Cocoa framework to GTK. There are quite a few GTK experts who would be happy to do contract work for Kagi to make it look and feel right. A polished product like #GNOME Web with the ambition of the #OrionBrowser would be really unique.
