Lacks Functionality

Good browser but using the features breaks the websites when searching. The inability to use the “vertical tabs” option is also a hindrance. I do appreciate the soft update to the UI, but customization options are still subpar compared to competitors. The performance has improved but could be contributed to the iOS 26.6.1 update.

Swiping left to right to close tab in the grid view not working

Overall good desige, just unable to close tab by swiping from left to right on the tab in the grid view, which most browsers can do.

Great browser, yet it needs more customization options

Fast, lightweight, reliable and private. Yet it would be nice to have an option to change the Home Page background and some alternative app icons too.

Good but not consistent

I’ve used this browser for over 6 months but I’m switching back to Brave. It had weird slowness navigating to new pages on existing tabs. I like it but not stable enough for every day use.

Totalverlust ohne Vorwarnung – zweimal hintereinander

Handy kurz aus der Hand gelegt, wieder aufgenommen: Browser komplett zurückgesetzt. Alle offenen Tabs weg, kompletter Verlauf weg, sämtliche Lesezeichen weg, alle gespeicherten Daten weg. Wie frisch installiert. App neu gestartet, iPhone neu gestartet – nichts kommt zurück. Keine Fehlermeldung, keine Warnung, keine Nutzeraktion.

Dann der zweite Schlag. Synchronisation war und blieb aktiv. Über „Download aus iCloud erzwingen“ meldete die App **380 geladene Datensätze** – angezeigt wurde davon nichts, der Browser blieb blank. Nach dem offiziellen Vorgehen des Herstellers (iCloud-Schalter für Orion aus/an, Sync aus/an, Force Fetch, dann Sync deaktivieren, App neu installieren) war anschließend auch die iCloud leer. Die 380 Datensätze, die kurz zuvor noch da waren: weg.

Damit sind zwei Dinge gleichzeitig ausgefallen: der lokale Datenbestand und das Backup, das genau dafür da ist. Eine Synchronisation, die den einzigen verbliebenen Bestand vernichtet, ist schlimmer als gar keine. Man wiegt sich in Sicherheit und steht am Ende mit nichts da.

Aktuelles iOS, keine Bastelei, kein Speicherplatzproblem, kein Beta-System. Einfach weg, beides.

Ein Browser ist ein Datenspeicher, kein bloßes Anzeigeprogramm. Lesezeichen und Verlauf sind über Jahre gewachsene Arbeit. Wer die nicht verlieren darf, kann diese App nicht einsetzen – unabhängig davon, wie gut Tempo, Erweiterungen und Datenschutz ansonsten sind.

Ein Stern, weil null nicht möglich ist.

Response from developer

Vielen Dank für den ausführlichen Bericht, und es tut uns leid, dass Sie Tabs, Lesezeichen und Verlauf verloren haben. Das ist kein erwartetes Verhalten, und eine Synchronisation, die den letzten verbliebenen Bestand löscht, ist ein Fehler, dem wir nachgehen müssen. Es wäre uns eine große Hilfe, und wir wären Ihnen sehr dankbar, wenn Sie uns alle Ihnen vorliegenden Details in unserem Forum unter orionfeedback.org mitteilen könnten. --- Thank you for the detailed report, and we're sorry you lost your tabs, bookmarks and history. That is not expected behavior, and a sync that erases the only remaining data is a bug we need to look into. It would be extremely helpful, and we would be very grateful, if you could give us all the details you have at your disposal on our forum at orionfeedback.org.
