To add to this discussion, could Orion be made to integrate with the contacts app in macOS and iOS? Safari will not only suggest your details for autofill, but details from anybody in your contacts. I use this extensively in my work, and I'm sure many others do as well.
More Autofill options (address/credit card/contact..)
Longely Very cool work, proves it can be done relatively easy for most cases. Of ocurse different languages pose a problem (how does Safari fare there?) but it is a start. Feel free to upload the button to Orions programmable button repo
Yeah, as a start i bellieve it could be suffient, since finding all the rules where it doesnt work (where it isnt a matter of having problems typing in the feild) is pretty hard as one person. since I dont encounter sign up or postal forms that often. would make more sense to have people to report where it doesnt, and then add thoose if possible
I just got it to a state where i would be confident it would work on 9 out of 10 or more I encounter.
I'm actually not to familiar with other autofills. if they just confidently work everywhere?
I use credit card details Autofill pretty often, having a dozen of cards stored in Safari. Would it be possible to migrate this data to Orion, like passwords and cookies? It's very inconvenient for me to switch from Orion to Safari every time I do online shopping. I'm either forced to redo my shopping cart step by step, or to manually copy name, number, expiry date, cvc fields one by one from Safari settings.
I can't find any option for autofill for orion other than passwords on desktop, am i missing something?
jamesgasek Yes, that the browser is still in beta and written from scratch so some things will be missing - like this one
Auto filling credit card details into forms makes transactions much easier on Safari. Orion should implement that as well.
I do not need to add credit card details all the time, but I do notice how annoying it is when I do not have it.
When focused on a field that takes credit card numbers, suggest using one of the cards in the wallet. Data like the number, name, expiration and security code are automatically filled out.
The only thing on iOS keeping me from using Orion, or even Firefox, is that Chrome is the only iOS browser with a functioning credit card autofill. Alternatively, I tried using the Bitwarden Chrome extension inside of Orion for iOS, to autofill a credit card form, but it didn't work.
The feature that Safari has where Safari will automatically fill your name and address from your defined contact is extremely useful when signing up for different websites. It would be great if Orion could duplicate this functionality in someway allowing a similar capability.
As a user is signing up for different websites, ordering goods and so on. The browser would understand that a name and address field was on the screen and prompted the user if the name and address should be auto filled. Naturally, this would be a feature that could be turned on and off.
A place to start for credit cards would be the Orion+ buy page.
The lack of autofill for payment details is a real pain. Please add a function to save all card information as in Safari. I use desktop.
When making payments online.
I am going to keep being annoying about this. Most modern browsers have a credit card autofill feature. In addition, both Safari and Chrome have apple pay, and with the latest updates apple pay should be available for other browsers to implement. Is there a reason you don't want this to be a part of Orion?
- Edited
both Safari and Chrome have apple pay
That is new to me. Can you show a video of Chrome with Apple pay on macOS?

I understand this is taking time, and this is because it is incredibly hard to do this. If you know how can Orion know that a field is used for name/address/credit card that works for all websites and all languages we are happy to accelerate this. It is not a browser problem it is a lack of standards problem.
