Support for Orion Browser

Hey 1P_Mitch ,

Thank you for keeping us posted.

It makes sense then that you should get in touch with vprelovac .
It is a well-known fact and this thread had many messages about it in previous pages, that Vlad and Orion developers tried to contact you to work on 1Password support in Orion, but to no avail.
Now's the time!

I hope a solution can be found soon and this feature be available.

Best regards,
Charlie

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.

https://1password.community/discussion/comment/636762#Comment_636762 was April 2022, page 5. Now we're on page 13, and 1Password thinks it's time for me to pay full price to renew my subscription...

I wouldn't hold my breath, 1Password has been removing replies and shadowbanning accounts communicating their displeasure about the whole lack of support issue. Some users have exposed 1Password as supporting only browsers with huge venture capitalist backing instead of supporting browsers that their community uses.

Instead of replying in a civil way, they shadowbanned all dissenters and hid all their comments and moved it to a void thread.
It surfaced up on the subreddit too.

Careful who you give your money to.

Just wanted to add one more vote for 1Password to add support for Orion. I'd like to use Orion as my default browser, and 1Password is currently blocking me from doing that.

Firefox has been my main browser for more than a decade until I had to switch to Mac for work. Now I'm using Orion since it's a native webkit browser with Chrome and Firefox add-on support. Bitwarden works perfectly with Orion, but 1Password does not (which I have to use for work...). I am eagerly waiting for the official support to roll out...

Hopefully this rolls out soon. I can't really give Orion much a test drive without my password manager working.

I like your bike profile pic. Have fun out there!

What's "secure settings", please? I think I missed an announcement, and searching for those terms in the forum has been ineffective for me.

I would like to express my frustration regarding two issues that I have been actively following, which have been left open for 19 and 13 months respectively (https://1password.community/discussion/comment/657746#Comment_657746 /Safari Icon which is not following Safari design guidelines). It is disappointing to note that there seems to be no visible progress being made, despite the fact that the technical fix for these issues should be relatively easy. In mid-February, an ETA of around April was given (https://1password.community/discussion/comment/676925/#Comment_676925), but it has now been several months and there is still no resolution in sight. As a paying Family Subscription admin, the lack of transparency is concerning, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to justify the subscription costs against this background.

As far as I know, we aren’t planning to restart the old process of reviewing and supporting each individually requested browser (of which there are quite a few). Secure settings will allow everyone to use the third-party browser of their choice so that 1Password will no longer act as a gatekeeper preventing folks from using their favourite browser whether that is Orion, Waterfox, SigmaOS or another browser. That's what the team is focused on now.

@CharlieCortial

Absolutely. As soon as secure settings is available in beta I'll make to sure to update this thread so that everyone can begin using the feature as soon as possible. 🙂
