| ▲ | Aerbil313 7 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | I'm using Orion as my daily driver on iOS mainly because of a Safari bug[1]. It used to be very buggy, had frequent app crashes for no reason at all but nowadays (since a year?) works pretty fine, even the UBO plugin works fine. 1: You can long tap and select "Download Linked File" on any link in Safari, including links that are forbidden by Content Restrictions, such as a news.ycombinator.com link from google search. Ping me if a Safari engineer sees this and fixes it! | | |
| ▲ | hedora 4 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | I use Orion. I hit some crashes until I told it to autoclose tabs after a few days. I’d rather leave that off, but it’s a minor problem. I run three firefox plugins. They all work correctly. | |
| ▲ | dylan604 4 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | A bug that happens for no reason? Aren’t these typically some sort of memory access violation, or am I just showing my age of what used to be the cause? I know nothing of iOS inner workings, but is illegal memory access still possible where this would be the behavior? | |

| ▲ | eddythompson80 12 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | Last I tried Orion was a couple of months ago. I wouldn't really say "figured out" per se. Like I see the vision, I like the vision, but I'm waiting. | | |
| ▲ | freeAgent 12 hours ago | parent [-] | | I mean that they figured out how to support (most) browser extensions on iOS in their browser, unlike Firefox. They haven’t figured everything out, but I do daily drive Orion on iOS. I still prefer Firefox on desktop due to stability (and Orion’s extension advantage in mobile doesn’t extend to desktop). | | |
| ▲ | SG- 12 hours ago | parent [-] | | Not most, they have figured out a few and they don't work very well. | | |
| ▲ | jeffhuys 10 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | Really all I wanted was uBlock and that works. That being said, after being my daily driver for almost a year, I went back to safari about a month ago with Wipr. 3x speedup and battery efficiency. Unfortunately, it became buggier instead of less buggy :( Still use it on mac tho - vertical tabs are a game-changer. | |

| ▲ | toofy 11 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | from what i understand orion is overflowing with bugs. even without the bugs, after everything we’ve been through with crazy shit from closed sourced browser companies, the last thing i’d install would be orion/kagi. lol nuh uh. not a chance i’d trust an ai company with almost the entirety of my online existence—especially when they close off and hide what they’re doing. | | |
| ▲ | handsclean 8 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | Orion is not made by an AI company, it’s made by Kagi. If you’re an open source or non-profit diehard then yes, it’s not that, but as far as closed source for-profit businesses go, they’re a lot better than most. They are a public benefit corporation that has rejected VC funding, and their main pitch is aligning user and company benefit, despite the mainstream currently railing against it. I’m not affiliated, just a user. | |
| ▲ | JumpCrisscross 10 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | > from what i understand orion is overflowing with bugs I use it as a daily driver on macOS. Not noticing the bugs anymore. | | |
| ▲ | trws 9 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | I just started giving it a try again about a week ago, and I second this. A year ago it was nearly unusable for any extension outside their preferred list, now it’s largely a pleasant experience. | |
| ▲ | godelski 8 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | I use it on iPhone, it has lots of bugs. But it's worth it for the ad blocking |
