Firefox GNOME theme updated to work with Nova

  • Post published:

The unofficial GNOME theme for Firefox has been updated to work with the Firefox 157 release and its newer, rounder Nova theme. It is not a traditional Firefox theme (like the ones you can install from the Mozilla Add-ons site) but, to quote its GitHub page, a “bunch of CSS code to make Firefox look closer to GNOME’s native apps” – an excellent job it does at it too. With Nova now rolled out, the theme team working on the unofficial Adwaita-esque garb needed to update to account for CSS class changes and new widget style Nova adds in newer […]

Hylki is a modern, Rust-based email client for GNOME

  • Post published:

Hylki is a Rust-based email client designed for the GNOME desktop with an incredibly amount of customisation packed in.

On the website, Hylki describes itself as “fast to open, effortless to read, and private by default” – but is it? Modern […]

Development has ended on Orion for Linux

  • Post published:

Kagi has announced it is ending development of its Orion web browser for Linux to focus on the macOS and iOS versions. A native GTK Linux port of Orion was announced in 2025 and a public beta launched earlier this year. The goal had been to offer feature parity with the macOS version. While recent updates have edged closer, it seems that’s where it’ll remain – for now.
