This browser is amazing; it takes all the great things from Safari and adds more good stuff to it. - Ergonomic browser with support for both Chrome and FF extension. - Ad blocking- Many customization options to make it even better

When will Orion get the Liquid Glass design? I am tired of looking at the old design. Please fix this!

Thank you for your feedback. We're excited about the new 'Liquid Glass' design too, and our team is hard at work on it. We want to get it just right, so we're taking our time to ensure it's a polished and stable experience when it's released. The best place to share any other design ideas is on our feedback forum at orionfeedback.org.

Edit from previous review as per request what is missing in order if importance:- quick search engines, i want to be able to select search engine from search bar incl custom ones, not having this limites usability, main reason I still need brave or similar on ios- id like to be able to set websites to always allow cookies/ site data when cleaning history / closing, though as far as I know no one else offers this on ios so far- option to save website to home screen so i can stop using safari completely-id also like to be able to customize the toolbar and to disable the bar above keyboard with things like qr scannee and .com etc (instead put seaech engines here)- i am also missing more cookie setting options and option to select my own dns, though i suspect this is not possible on ios (but your mac os version also doesnt have this setting)Original review:Fast, lightweight and has built in adblock, doesnt have all the bloat brave has which is the main competition on mobile and is faster than brave. However some key settings that are normal on brave are missing and also on ipad it seems to be a bit buggy. Nothing serious just the scrolling experience isnt always smooth and sometimes is blurry also sometimes clicking on links doesnt respond right away. No other issues, so still quite usable but it also still needs work. I was hesitant if this deserves 3 stars or 4 out of 5 but I want to encourage more people to use and review it so that the developers can fix the issues then its gonna be great!

Thank you so much for the detailed 4-star review and for your encouragement! We're thrilled you're enjoying Orion's speed and lightweight design compared to Brave.You've hit on a key area we're focused on. We are aware of the scrolling latency on iOS and iPad, and improving this is a top priority for our team. We are actively working on a fix that should land in the next release.Regarding the settings you're missing, we'd love to hear your specific ideas. The best way for our team to track and prioritize new features is on our feedback forum. Your suggestions would be a huge help at orionfeedback.org.

Extensions don't work

Most extensions do not work or work, but it's not possible to change settings. Cookies aren't deleted when closing app. Can't turn off built-in ad blocker when it breaks a website. Can't add exceptions. UI is illogical and not user-friendly. Can't turn off "open in app" for links.The idea of a privacy browser is great, but it needs more work.5/2/26 every update something new breaks. Whenever I'm on a website, it suddenly blanks and I have to refresh to see the page. Revolut payments via iDeal always required 5 steps (!!!) of authentication/authorization, but now it stopped working all together because pop-ups are being blocked and there's no setting anywhere to allow pop-ups to go through. I would always recommend Orion to people but f that. Maybe start fixing things instead of adding useless new features that further breaks the appm it's barely usable anymore.

Thank you for taking the time to write such a detailed review. We're genuinely sorry to hear about the frustrating experience you've been having. It's clear the browser isn't meeting your expectations right now, and we appreciate you laying out the specific issues.To address a few of your points directly: You can disable the built-in ad blocker for a specific website by tapping the site's icon (favicon) in the address bar and toggling it off there. Regarding extensions, achieving full compatibility on iOS is a significant technical challenge due to limitations in Apple's WebKit, but we are always working to improve it.The other issues you've described: pages going blank, problems with Revolut payments, and illogical UI elements, are exactly the kinds of detailed reports that are incredibly helpful for our team. The best place for us to track and investigate these bugs properly is on our feedback forum. We would be very grateful if you could post these details at orionfeedback.org. Your feedback is crucial for helping us fix these bugs and improve the app.
