I love, LOVE Orion. Use it both on iPhone and Mac. However, lately, it's becoming more and more buggy and sluggish. Writing this in Orion though - just have to quit it a few times a day to battle the RAM consumption and sluggishness. So yeah, like the other person says: DEFINETELY still beta. And yes, I report the issues.

Yeah, I am mainly using firefox on desktop, but orion on the phone because this is the only way to get extensions on ios. I do have crashes once in a while in certain websites. It is annoying, but, for me personally, being able to use certain extensions (ublock, dark reader etc) makes it worth the occasional crash.

Do you have a significant number of tabs opened? I've noticed a similar issue and my hunch is it was due to "tab rot".

I’ve found this to be the case, but I absolutely do not consider this acceptable. It’s just uncontrolled memory use. I also experience this on Safari though, so I suspect it’s a WebKit issue.
