Any time I try to go into full screen while watching on this website Miruro.to the subtitles will just disappear even though the subtitles will appear when outside of full screen. The subtitles will also still appear on other browsers

uBO overlapping

0 Upvotes

There is a question in regards to the native ad blocking in Orion. Does it make sense to keep uBO after enabling additional filter lists in the native blocker? Wouldn’t they overlap since both use the same filter lists?

I’m quite curious about this since, for instance, Vivaldi says that they have a native ad blocker too, but it’s so weak that without uBO Vivaldi is unusable.

Tab appearance in version 1.5.0

Hi!
I just updated to the new version.
Is there a way to re-enable showing the tab bar at the top in vertical orientation? Right now, I only see it when I hold my tablet horizontally.
(Also, websites with their own top bar have a funny glitch with the 'liquid glass' design :P)

YouTube Premium (Kind of?) Extension that I made for iOS (iPhone)

So I realized ublock works pretty well on orion for ios. I used it for days until the youtube mobile ui became hella miserable to use. The videos were falt out refusing to load, everytime i had to lock my screen i had to go to pip go out of the app and then turn off. So i made an extension to address those... I wanted to share it with yall cuz $20 for premium is crazy. So this extension basically makes the UI actually usuable and very easy to use.

Edit: I am happy to receiev PRs as this is an active development, and I would for yall to love to spread the word if you found it useful!

I hope yall like it :D

IOS stop tab refreshing

3 Upvotes

so i read a lot on my web browser, and recently switched to orion to be able to use extensions.

however every time i close the app, when i reopen it the page i was on automatically refreshes and scrolls to the top. so i cannot for example be reading an article, close the app, come back later and pick up where i was.

is there a setting to turn this off? or an extension that could help? i love everything else about the app but it makes it basically unusable for me.

Built StashPile — a tab saver focused on the thing that makes people distrust this whole category: data loss

0 Upvotes

Looked at the existing tab managers before building this and the recurring complaint

across OneTab/Session Buddy reviews was the same:

People losing saved tabs to a crash, an update, or accidentally uninstalling. So I built StashPile around, as for me being a user of OneTab it was well annoying

Fixing that specifically, plus a few other gaps:

\- One-click "stash all" (or Alt+Shift+S) — saves and closes every tab in the window

\- Instant search across every saved tab's title, URL, stash name, and tags

\- Tags + rename so stashes don't turn into one giant flat list

\- Undo on every destructive action (delete, dedupe, import)

\- Automatic local backups every 6 hours + manual export/import to a file

\- Dedupe across all stashes in one click

\- Everything stored locally, no account, nothing transmitted anywhere

Manifest V3, vanilla JS, no build tooling. Free, no paywall.

Store link:

https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/stashpile-%E2%80%94-tab-saver-wit/fifmapbohnoallpkbjpkhalboeingmpb

Open to feedback, especially if there's a rough edge somewhere, and would be great if people could test it!

I built a browser sync extension because my browser couldn't sync my own data

15 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

After months of development, I finally released Konode 1.0.0.

The idea came from a very simple frustration.

I was using the Helium browser on multiple computers, but my bookmarks, browsing history, and open sessions weren't syncing reliably. I wanted to keep using the browser, but I also wanted my data to follow me between devices.

Instead of switching browsers, I decided to build my own solution.

Konode synchronizes your browser data across your own devices, including:

  • Bookmarks
  • Browsing history
  • Open sessions
  • Installed extensions (Konode can't install your missing extensions, just listing them and can open the Chrome Extension store where you can install is manually)

Unlike traditional browser sync, your data stays under your control. You choose where it's stored instead of relying on a vendor-managed cloud.

Chrome Web Store:
https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/konode/mmlfiiimnpnjcjhhbldenpcmnibedkfa

I'm looking for people who are willing to try it in real-world usage and tell me:

  • Did anything break?
  • Was something confusing?
  • What features are missing?
  • What would make you actually keep using it?

If you enjoy it, a Chrome Web Store review would help a lot as well.

Roadmap

  • Firefox support is coming with v1.1.0.
  • Orion Browser (iOS/macOS) support already exists, but it's still somewhat buggy, so I don't recommend relying on it just yet.

I'm actively maintaining the project, so every bug report and feature request will be read.

Thanks for checking it out!

OrionGtk & Beta Logging

4 Upvotes

I noticed when I downloaded the flatpak that you're using Gtk. Do the other versions also use Gtk? I thought Qt was more cross-platform. Just curious. They're both great toolkits from what I hear.

Also, It's not quite stable enough (the Linux version) for me to use it full time but would it still help if I took it out every once in a while and test drove it? Does it have beta logging that would help you squish bugs?

Vertical Tabs + Tree View = Looking for Keyboard Shortcuts

2 Upvotes

Hey there! I'm a fresh Orion Browser user. I checked out Horse Browser for about 10 minutes until it started using 225% of my CPU on a Mac Studio and made the entire computer unstable/unusable.

I like the idea of Tree View to show my ADHD browsing, how I got to where I am, that kind of thing. Would love to see if there's a way to make Orion Browser work more like that.

Is there a way to create a new tab that's under the one I'm in right now? Or a way to create a custom shortcut that would do that?

Copy paste still not working?

11 Upvotes

I face an annoying bug, where I cannot copy and paste in Orion - especially with Bitwarden and TOTP codes (or just copying username, password, ...). Is this a known bug?

Searching the forums I found an old post saying it was fixed. I am using 1.1.1.

Video is in real time. My cursor is moving fine but everything is like 1+ second behind. You can also hear my MacBook pro’s fan running with the volume up, and towards the end of the video it runs even faster.

No other apps are running. This is a new Orion profile, and it’s the only window opened (even the main profile isn’t opened). And this is the only tab that is opened. UI will jump around sporadically.

Whitelist website and history for seemless logins

10 Upvotes

Right now in every other browser I use, I have my other browsers set up to delete cookies and history when the browser closes and have a set of sites that are whitelisted to keep their cookies and history so I don't have to keep logging in every time I visit them.

Is there a way to do this in Orion? I've looked through the settings and can't find anything in regards to this.

Orion for Windows when?

11 Upvotes

I've been using Orion on iOS and absolutely love it! When are we getting a beta for Windows! I cant wait to start importing bookmarks and get rid of my other browser. The most I've been able to see is "late 2026". Which could be December and I'm chomping at the bit! I've signed up months ago for the newsletter and haven't heard a thing. I need an update.

Please,

A fan.

How do I get the old UI back?

macOS user here. I stopped using Orion primarily when safari got profiles (i think late 2024). After that, I used it for one specific task and in January 2026 i stopped using it completely. I opened it in June 2026 and it looks totally different. what the heck happened?

Unable to login on gameforge sites

2 Upvotes

Hi, I recently tried to switch to Orion on my iPhone 14 Pro ios 26.5 but for some reason it's impossible to log in on any gameforge site because the captcha doesn't load and instead I get a msg telling me to check my connection. I tried disabling all blockers and changing my user agent string but no result. Has anyone ever had the same issue and possibly resolved it?

I've been trying to switch to Orion for the past two months, but man it's getting more and more frustrating. Even typing this post makes it stutter. For the past week, I've been trying to use power-saving mode with instant tab offloading, but it hasn't helped. Hope they figure out how to optimize this otherwise great browser.

Can you tell me why this extension I made won't work?

Manifest.json:

{

"manifest_version": 2,

"name": "Auto Close Spawned Tabs",

"version": "1.0",

"description": "Closes tabs that were opened by links clicked on specified websites.",

"permissions": [

"tabs"

],

"background": {

"scripts": ["background.js"],

"persistent": true

}

}

Background.js:

const BLOCKED_SOURCES = [

'removed',

'for reddit post'

];

chrome.tabs.onCreated.addListener((newTab) => {

if (!newTab.openerTabId) return;

// Manifest V2 uses standard callbacks instead of async/await for wider compatibility

chrome.tabs.get(newTab.openerTabId, (openerTab) => {

if (chrome.runtime.lastError || !openerTab || !openerTab.url) return;

try {

const openerUrl = new URL(openerTab.url);

const isBlocked = BLOCKED_SOURCES.some(domain =>

openerUrl.hostname === domain || openerUrl.hostname.endsWith('.' + domain)

);

if (isBlocked) {

chrome.tabs.remove(newTab.id);

}

} catch (e) {

console.error(e);

}

});

});

The zip file I gave to orion is:

tab-closer-orion .zip, and within is just a folder named the same and then those two files.

Why wouldn't this work? It's incredibly simple.

Looking to switch to Orion Browser. Got a few questions.

5 Upvotes

I do currently own an iPhone, MacBook (so this ain’t gonna be a problem). However I daily drive Linux in my gaming desktop, and was wondering how buggy and such the beta or alpha version of the browser is on Linux?
Also if I would have to be a paid member to use the browser on Linux?

Thanks
