Please add support for the Orion browser. It needs explicit signature verification from 1Password to work. Otherwise, it should work out of the box.

4 years agoOne of our devs have taken a quick look at Orion and saw it is a Safari web view with the extensions API implemented in it, so it is basically a big mesh of different pieces of software bundled up into a web view window.
It's a custom build of WebKit. It would be technically incorrect to call it a WebView. By that same logic, Edge and Opera are just Chromium WebViews. Given that it's just WebKit with a lot of APIs that don't exist in Safari by default, again, it seems trivial to support, and the decision is arbitrary.
While it's interesting to speculate on whether or not the classic extension would or wouldn't work, the simplest thing would be to build the extension, permit the browser, and test it to see if it worked. Same with the modern extension for that matter.
I hope that 1Password reconsiders. Again, philosophically, making arbitrary decisions on which browsers to support significantly harms the already-diminishing open web.
