The project’s GitHub repository shows an impressive slate of features, but also notes that things are changing as this is alpha software. The CAD kernel is a common one brought in via WebAssembly, so there shouldn’t be many simple bugs involving geometry.
We’ve seen a number of browser-based tools that do some kind of CAD. CADmium is a recent entry into the list. Or, stick with OpenSCAD. We sometimes go low-tech for schematics.

When will there be a Tor version of CAD?

I want to leave Fusion360 for 3D printing as I switched to Linux and I really do not want that cloud connection. Any recommendations?

AFAIK there's only FreeCAD, but it is very different to work with so be prepared to relearn a lot of workflows.

Agreed. It is very powerful but the interface has a long way ahead to be user friendly. Still, it is worth the effort if you really care about sticking to linux.

As if the original comic wasn't reductive and unnecessarily dismissive enough, you've somehow made it worse. Let people make things if they think they have a shot at it, please.

Why put CAD software in the browser?

because that's the new hip OS

Looks cool, wishing them the best of luck. Would be awesome to have a properly functional open source CAD software to compete with the likes of Fusion.

Freecad. Turn on snapping and use the the helper. Seems like every new move requires a sketch rather than autocads sketch it all and then do 3d operations.

Tried it briefly, seems nice but couldn't find snapping, setting certain lenghts and other must haves.

One codebase across all OSes and OS versions, no dependency issues, easy to push updates.
I'd prefer a native app myself, though.

Worse performance & accessibility, more restricted UI-Features, needs work to port... and now you need to care for mobile too.
Better pack it in Flatpack instead.

My current toolkit (as a 3D printing hobbyist) on Linux currently includes:
- FreeCAD: Takes some getting used to, is a lot stricter, but that might even improve your CAD skills in the long term, as it forces you to think more about what you're actually doing. The closest thing to Fusion360.
- OpenSCAD: You're basically programming your models. Very powerful if you need parts with repeating sections and/or want something with easily adjustable parameters.
- Blender: Useful when I have to do some quick&dirty modifications to a model I've downloaded from somewhere.
