    I tried Orion about a year ago. I tried using the profile sandboxing. Logging into my google account in one profile also logged me in in another profile. I can definitely excuse so…

    Can't believe no one has yet mentioned the full volume commercials they play beforehand. I'm not talking about trailers, which are benign or even enjoyable sometimes. But you used …
