Support for Orion Browser

+1, what's going on here?

If the 1P team ever actually delivers on this we’re gonna need a blog post to explain what took so long and why approving a new browser won’t be a problem going forward.

Even if it makes you look bad, it means a lot when you own up to your shortcomings.

+1 from me too. I've been also waiting for the masked email support besides fastmail. Maybe It's time to switch my password manager after being a paying customer for years now.

Hi! I’m matt_g. I do product stuff :)

It has been our intention all along that the choice of which browser to use should be in the hands of our users. That being said, we wanted to make sure that we had a safe and secure solution in place to facilitate that choice. We are ALWAYS listening to our users and especially here on the forums, but I didn’t want to share anything until timelines were more concrete. In roughly ~1.5 months you should be able to add almost any 3rd party browser that supports the native messaging host web standard as a trusted browser. That means not just Chromium based browsers, in case that wasn’t clear. You should hear more about this soon!

@1P_MattG I'm pleased to read that information, thank you.
I'm pretty sure that most of other participants to this thread would have loved to hear about this ETA before. I really hope 1Password will communicate more in the future about future features that are waited / needed by their customers. I know it is risky to announce stuffs before they are released as they can be delayed, but staying in the dark is worse for us.

+1 for Orion support from me too. Registered on this forum just for this :-)

I was already about to buy a new Mac just to make Safari usable again, but after switching to Orion, it's like I have a new computer… More people need to know about Orion.

Also been using 1Password forever, probably ever since 1.0 or at least close :-)

That's all – cheers! :-)

Please add Orion Support.
I've been a paying customer for years & use it everywhere and would like 1password team to support my decision to use Orion. Otherwise, I would have to consider something else and I don't want to do that.
I made an account just for this & am retyping this comment.
Thank you in advance for providing this solution to your customers.

@steph.giles please also add my vote

Hi @1P_MattG , thank you for answering. It’s good to finally get a date for a feature we have been requesting for around a year now.
We still need (and deserve) more from the 1Password team. You say you are listening, but one thing this thread shows is that you are not answering your customers’ requests, even in the face of 10+ pages of asking, and a year of waiting.
We still don’t need (and deserve) to know why a browser like Arc got a special treatment, and another like Orion had to wait for this universal solution. All we got until now was stalling, and vague answers without real explanation.
Like @hollabit said above, you should give us something like a blog post, explain to us what happened.
You can say that you are ALWAYS listening to your users all you want, but the only thing that matters is what you do.

@1P_MattG Thanks for the info – missed it previously, but this is excellent news! 🙏
