    At its core, Orion is built on WebKit, the same browser engine used by Apple Safari. Unlike most modern browsers, which rely on Chromium, Orion deliberately avoids Chromium and Google services, positioning itself as a lightweight alternative with strong privacy defaults.

You are doing a great job so far. ● Jan 11 [17:43] schestowitz[TR2] " [17:43] schestowitz[TR2] For those who don't recall, in September 2024, the official Godot Twitter/X account posted this in response to a joke tweet posted by a well known Godot user [17:43] schestowitz[TR2] A few different notable community members replied with their concern about the tweet skirting a little too close to political discussion at the time, and the conversation soon snowballed into drama and chaos from every angle imaginable. I dont wanna get too deep in the weeds here, but gamesfromscratch has a video explaining the cliffnotes of the situation in a frank but decently neutral manner. [17:43] schestowitz[TR2] This was the reddit post announcing the official statement following the fallout from the Godot Foundation. Taking a look at the comments gives a pretty good idea about how many felt about it at the time. [17:43] schestowitz[TR2] Im making this post not to dig up old bones (despite postmortem being in the title ), but to ask: how do you feel the Godot foundation has improved in their community relations since this incident? What steps have you noticed they've taken to prevent another incident like this from happening again? Do you agree with the steps theyve taken since then? [17:43] schestowitz[TR2] This is NOT a discussion about how they handled the situation THEN, it is about what they are doing NOW. Please keep that in mind, and be respectful of each others opinions!
