I tried using Orion mobile for months but I just kept running into so many UI bugs that I had to switch away from it :(. I love Kagi, but Orion just feels unpolished right now
- At times, the search bar text disappears and the "refresh page" icon is left aligned (instead of right aligned).
- When a link has an associated app that can open it, Orion opens a modal that asks whether you'd like to open it in-app or continue on the browser. However, sometimes it immediately opens the app and shows the modal once you navigate back.
- When using a custom search engine, you can no longer use the search bar to edit your query and it just shows the url.
I did eventually have to abandon the desktop one about a year ago though due to bugs. It seems like it’s better now though.
Sure they are sometimes some buggy UI controls (like the focus not working), but for the most part, the experience has been smooth.
Did you try to report the bugs when you had some? Maybe this could help everyone else using the browser.
I rarely bother submitting bugs on closed source software. Submitting bug reports takes a lot of time (to do well) and I feel that it often leads to nothing.
In my case, all the bugs I ran into were things that developers should also run into through normal use of the app (freezes, weird search bar bugs, scrolling stuck, etc)
