Universal Orion is amazing. Goodbye forever Safari

[Spaceboi Scaphandre]

So I started using the beta for Orion Browser on Mac, and it's changed everything. The lightweight functionality and Apple features of Webkit, but without Safari's issues, and unlike Safari IT HAS PLUGINS. Not to mention a compatibility mode for websites designed for Chrome.

But then I discovered it's also on the iOS App Store...and the plugins work on iOS as well...

Yeah...Safari's done. There's no reason to go back to it at all when Orion exists that is literally just Safari but better.

Great, so far. Ad blocking is good. Thanks.

I am also using it for last 3 days exclusively. Experience is good. Pretty lightweight.
Running uBlock Origin (for adblocking) along with builtin adblocker.
Also installed on my iPhone 12 iOS16 and made it default browser. So far so good.

You have no idea how good it feels to finally be able to use uBlock on an iPhone.

Something is not right with my ublock origin on iPhone Orion browser. I tried installing firefox and chrome ublock extension but neither blocks ads. It doesn’t show settings. Not sure what is wrong?

If it's not showing in settings then it didn't install correctly.

I just read on Orion’s feedback forum. uBlock is not supported on iOS currently. So I guess you are mistaken with MacOS.

YouTube ads are blocked for sure. And these same screens I can also see. But when I click on Ublock settings icon, it doesn’t show anything. If you open nxbrew.com, it doesn’t block pop ups. While orion with ublock on my Macbook blocks every ad superbly

I don't know what the hell you're doing on your iPhone then because mine are all blocked

@Spaceboi Scaphandre I gotta ask.. have you experienced any issues with getting directly to a comment in a thread via the notification area of MacRumors Forums? When clicking the bell - symbol on the front page of the forum next to your user image?

With the latest Orion RC and releases before that , I can't seem to get directly to any of the notifications presented to me.. Orion RC hangs for about a minute on loading a single notification

Now that you mention it I have yesterday. I thought it was just MacRumors' host server taking a crap, but if you're having issues now then I don't know what's going on, as MacRumors is the only site having that issue suddenly

Try turning on compatibility mode for MacRumors on Orion and see if that changes anything.

The issue exists on Neowin as well for such notifications. It could be a forum backend issue, I'm not certain if the two sites happen to share a common forum software. They might, as the process is quite similar when getting a notification and clicking to it.

Compatibility Mode doesn't help unfortunately. I've been doing hand stands on my parakeet(RIP parakeet) to see if that helps. It didn't. Now I have one less parakeet instead. Thanks Orion.

Have you contacted Kagi about it? This would be bug report worthy. https://orionfeedback.org/

I have sent in a report a few days ago. It's being investigated. Thank you for replying.

Orion just got an update and it seems to have fixed the MacRumors issues as I got notifications again. So if you haven't updated yet, do so now.

Oh Thank you!... do I missunderstood?

The one thing I wish Orion had was bidirectional iCloud Keychain integration. Then again, I already have KeePass(XC)... I'll only need to transfer my login information back.

It doesn't? Because my iCloud keychain worked. It should work since it's using Webkit.

According to what I have read, Orion can only read from it, but not change entries?
