Support for Orion Browser

Hey all. Thanks for all the requests for Orion support. As we've said earlier in the thread, we've have been motivated by this feedback to work on a feature that will make it possible to allow any browser you trust to connect securely to the desktop app. It's getting close to ship, and I have a new post that goes into more detail about how it works: https://1password.community/discussion/140735/extending-support-for-trusted-web-browsers#latest.

However, even with this new setting, we've found that Orion is not currently compatible with the 1Password extension. Trying to load the Chrome extension (both mv2 and mv3) leads to unrecoverable errors in network requests and other low-level APIs. Here's an example of some errors in basic cryptography operations we saw which prevented the extension from even loading:

We are a bit surprised to see these kinds of errors since the 1Password extension is fully compatible with the web API and Web Extensions spec, and it works across Chrome(-ium), Firefox, and Safari. Our understanding from the Orion team was that compatibility wouldn't be an issue, and all we had to do was change our policy. Unfortunately that doesn't seem to be the case.

We'd of course like to see 1Password work everywhere, which is why we've invested in the new setting to add trusted browsers. But it's a much bigger lift to invest in specific compatibility changes for a single browser, especially if we don't know how extensive those changes will be. We're sharing our findings with the Orion team and will post an update in the forums when we find out more.
