We have to wait and see if it’s really mediocre. Gnome Web certainly has performance issues, but those may be due to WebkitGTK.
Orion is not using WebkitGTK, despite using GTK and Libadwaita. Their port may not have the same performance issues.
And when I say performance issues, I don’t mean benchmarks. Gnome Web actually does pretty decent on benchmarks, but things like scrolling with a mouse just don’t feel smooth (but do with a trackpad).
Speaking from macOS and iOS use, Orion’s great in terms of performance and efficiency in my testing, and I’m excited to see what all can be done on Linux.

But on macOS it just uses Apple’s own WebKit fork, so it is very expected: WebKit is very optimised towards Apple hardware on macOS and iOS.
