I was going to say that unfortunately Vimium, Dark Reader, and 1Password support are non-negotiable, but the browser evidently has its own built-in dark mode, and they claim to support both Chrome and Firefox extensions as well? I'm happy to provide non-Chromium traffic from either Firefox or something else; I'm increasingly running into things (often corporatey things) that only work in Chrome. It also sounds like t…
Dark Reader has worked perfectly fine for me though.

I am not sure if it's been answered somewhere before. Why Webkit? Seems like a bad idea to use an engine that is currently running the "new IE"

Unfortunately 1Password doesn't work. Not because of extension compatibility but seemingly because 1Password has an internal whitelist of trusted browsers that Orion is not included in. It's really unfortunate as there's been a community forum post about it for months[1], but it's never been addressed. Dark Reader has worked perfectly fine for me though.

I haven't needed to try that on macOS but it may be worth a shot, given the shared Electron codebase

I understand how that may feel. Orion founder here. Here was the thought process behind the choice. When you decide to build a browser you first need to decide the browser engine. We decided we don't want Chromium (because who needs another Chromium browser) so that left Gecko and WebKit. Since I happen to personally use macOS and thought it had wonderful future as a consumer OS (this is all happening in 2018) I deci…
From an ethical/ideological pov, I really quite agree with you. I use Firefox :P More power to an alternative to the Chromium monopoly.
Thanks for the reply. I am looking forward to trying the beta.

I agree. I dislike the tendency in Apple circles to just simply imply that things only run on mac. It’s like: I know it’s obvious to you, the software author, but it’s not obvious to me, the reader. Even though I use mac sometimes, I mostly don’t use software that isn’t cross platform.
