Vlad Of ocurse different languages pose a problem (how does Safari fare there?)

Safari does absolutely great there. I'm using autofill in 4 different languages, on a myriad of websites, and it usually works well. Except for phone numbers, since websites like to split the country code and number into different fields.

      Also, I have 1Password and it shows auto fill options for filling in my name/address and it never works, just allows the selection then does nothing.

        Vlad One thing Safari does (on iOS at least) is that it starts filling out a form best it can. Then if you are in an empty field it gives you the option (in the autocorrect bar) to put in the missing fields (CCV, expiration date) semi-manually. You have to tap on it, while in the right field, but at least you don't have to copy your credit card info from somewhere

            Vlad It is not a browser problem it is a lack of standards problem.

            Firefox does it, and it’s open source. Perhaps your devs could look into their code.

                meshmeshumeshu or even Firefox

                Firefox on iOS actually fills names, addresses, and credit cards now. They added it around March 2024

                    Vlad typically html forms have a name attribute, like "email", "first name", "address1" etc, that are pretty standard.

                    You can use either Field Attributes & Name Detection
                    Modern web forms use standard name attributes, such as:
                    name="email"
                    name="address"
                    name="firstName"
                    Your browser can map these to stored user data.

                    1. Detect Input Type & Label Associations
                      Many websites follow semantic form designs:
                      <input type="email"> → Autofill with the stored email.
                      <input type="tel"> → Autofill with the stored phone number.
                      Use <label for="id"> associations to infer the field purpose.
                    2. Or you can leverage the new autocomplete feature of html5:
                      <input type="text" name="street-address" autocomplete="address-line1">
                      <input type="text" name="city" autocomplete="address-level2">
                      Your autofill system should recognize these standard values and save them in some type of safe browser storage.

                        Every browser has the issue that if the form on a website is not properly created or standardized, auto-fills won't work.

                        But having payment methods saved, and a default address for shippings would be all i need to not miss Safari at all haha

                            Sadly I’ve come to the conclusion that this is a deal breaker for me to continue using Orion :/ I purchase a lot online on different websites and not having an option to auto fill cards and delivery address is really annoying 🙁 Im glad to support Orion with my yearly subscription but I’m gonna have to go back to Arc since they have support for all this baked in

                              javit89 Arc has support for all this baked in

                              On iOS?

                                  brando I realized arc has the password and payment methods manager only for each local installation, so it’s not synced through cloud to other sessions 🙁 then I gave up and decided to sub to 1Pass and when I tried to use it with Orion it kept crashing (like 10 times within 1 hour) every time I tried to autofill a password 🙁

                                      javit89 so it’s not synced through cloud to other sessions

                                      Only iOS browsers that sync address and payments afaik is Firefox, Safari, and Chrome

                                          This is a big deal and a major inconvenience when using Orion. Also, when using autofill for passwords, you should not have to fill the user name and password separately. You should be able to just pick the user name and have it fill in the password automatically.

                                            Vlad Please make autofill contact and credit card info a top priority for Orion! This is by far my biggest issue with this browser, and I know I'm not the only one. I understand it is not easy or standardized, but Firefox is open source and can do it, and the https://fill.dev/ page posted here 3 years ago has a page that might be helpful: https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/form-control-infrastructure.html#autofill
                                            Thank you!

                                                Would also love to see this! Does someone know a good extension in the meantime?
