I want to support this browser, but there are just so many things making me want to move away. I've used it as my daily driver for over a month now. This doc is just a note of the features/fixes "I want" to monitor.
The only literal thing making me stay: Memory Usage and Battery Life. (Which tbh, I don't even care for since I have a Mac with a hefty amount of memory already).
- Infinite/redirects when on Persisted Tab. (Issue: https://orionfeedback.org/d/10692-infinite-reloadredirect-on-instagram-or-google-oauth-redirects-when-i-have-vertical-tabs-2-windows, it was set to Done but not fixed).
- Cmd + N while on a Pinned Tab, refreshes it. (Issue: https://orionfeedback.org/d/10688-pressing-n-while-on-a-pinned-tab-reloads-the-tab)
- Sometimes Reddit posts don't load. (e.g. visiting https://www.reddit.com/r/TerraMaster/), will remove all posts. Then if I open in a New Window (Cmd + N), not even Incognito, and paste the link, it loads it. Then I go back to the original window, and refresh, and it works. Only in Orion does this happen. Very weird.
- Pressing Focus mode a couple of times, and Vertical Tabs won't work anymore. Only way to fix it? Quit and Re-run the app.
- Idk if it's a YouTube thing, but most of the time I go back to my original account, not the account I selected. After a while (like a day)
- Disable the animations. The animations are sluggish, I like it quick like Vim or Zed. Even with reduce motion set on Accessibility > Display settings, it still uses sluggish animations (maybe that's a bug?). But I personally like my Mac's animations so I don't want to enable reduce motion. I just want to disable Orion's animations.
- Reorder the Search suggestion priority. I kinda want "History" to come first before "Search Suggestions". There's no way to do that.
Other than that.. it's great! Pinned Sites, Vertical Tabs. Kinda feel like Arc. Focus mode as well.
