Leave a Review Orion Browser by Kagi
Crashes on iPhone loading any page
In time, this will become my goto browser once all the bugs are ironed out.
The ability to have true desktop sites (override viewport width) and custom user agent, not to mention actual browser extension support for most Chrome AND Firefox desktop extensions sets this browser WAY ahead of the competition, and I say that as a loyal Brave user who ditched Safari years ago.
However, both of the above browsers are stable to use, whereas Orion currently cannot load any page on my iPhone without crashing to home.
I am currently on iOS 13.3.1. I hope it gets better support later. Unfortunately, the app doesn't really work much at all on this iOS at this time.
On my iPad which has a much more recent iOS version, this is a fantastic browser, although the two streaming sites I tried using still didn't work—1 still wanted me to download the mobile app, while the other thought I was on desktop but ran into playback error when trying to play video. But I assume these are problems because they're not meant to be streamed in mobile browsers sadly. Not the app’s fault.Show lesstook the name I wanted
Amazing
Better than 99% browsers available for IOS, brave and firefox focus are only ones that I would use apart from this. However, the Orion browser offers surprising functionality and compatibility with chrome and mozillla addons that other browsers do not. So if you are willing to sacrifice a bit of stability this is a no brainer. The issues with adblocking come down to having extensions that interfere with the built in adblocker; so if you want to have the best adblocking experience just turn off the built in adblocker if you are using any addons. Adblockers use CSS on to block ads on IOS such as with Safari extensions so your results are going be varied regardless of which browser you use.Show lessBob 🧐
Nicely organized but too slow
I like the organization of options and tabs. Adding AI tab organization would be good. The ability to turn off scripts is wonderful to read sites with annoying ads. But I’ve stopped using the browser almost altogether because it takes so long to load. It may be from having a lot of tabs open, but I’ve had a lot of tabs open in chrome and other browsers without any problem. Sometimes it crashes. Also, when I turn my phone to landscape and the back to portrait mode, half the screen is blank and I have to close it and restart. Would have been 5 stars but for the slowness, crashing, and orientation problems. I would be happy to pay for a better supported browser.Show lessIsaytenagra
