Jon Aquino's Mental Garden: Switching to lighter apps (and cool things about the Orion browser)

Cursor, iTerm2, and Edge/Arc/Zen were taking up a lot of memory on my MacBook, so I am going on a bit of a memory diet and switching to lighter apps:

Instead of Cursor which is Electron-based: Zed, which is written in Rust and should be faster.
Instead of iTerm2, Alacritty + tmux. Alacritty is a single-window terminal, so I need tmux to handle the tabs. At first I was a bit scared of tmux but now I kind of like it - it's fun to play around with and customize.
Instead of Edge, Orion which is Webkit-based (by the makers of the Kagi search engine). Working out so far. Supposed to use less memory than Chrome.

Things I'm noticing about the Orion browser

Having separate dock icons for different profiles (Work and Personal) seems good

There is a bug with Open external links in: Last Active Profile - seems to open the first profile that was opened rather than the last profile that was active. You can choose which profile to open by clicking the appropriate dock icon.
The vertical tabs are threaded.hierarchical - opening a tab from a webpage opens a page under the current tab. It's interesting - haven't seen that before.

To get the new-tab shortcut (⌘-T) to put your cursor in the address bar so you can type something immediately, set New tabs open with: Empty Page
When it prompts to ask if a website should access my location, one of the options is Never For This Website, which is useful and something I haven't seen in other browsers

I believe for each extension you have the option to set which sites it is enabled for, which is nice
On a pinned tab, to reset to the pinned URL, use Cmd+click.
You can right-click a page and choose Summarize. A pane will appear on the right with a summary. If you move to a different page and want to summarize that, click the Summarize button on the lower right of the pane.
