The browser should confirm if the user wants to remove an extension, like most if not all other browsers.

    BomberFish Supplying a screenshot/text would be helpful. Disable too or just uninstall?

        What does your feature entail? What is it for? How will it affect existing workflows or user experience?
        Currently, it is very easy to accidentally uninstall an extension in the extensions settings. Clicking the uninstall button has no confirmation prompt at all and the second you click it, your extension and its settings are gone.

        Similarly the Uninstall All button has no confimation:

        Both of these are arguably necessary user friendly features that have no downsides.

            Current Behavior

            In this window when I click "Uninstall All", there are no confirm dialog and Orion uninstall every extension.

            Suggested Behavior

            Mistake to click "Uninstall All", current behavior can be dangerous.
            I suggest to confirm this action. Just one more dialog to Uninstall All Extensions!

            p.s. I'm very satisfied about Orion and Kagi's mission. I successfully migrated and on-boarded to Orion and Kagi. Kudos for Orion/Kagi team. :+1:

              HazeLee Can you give examples from other browsers (screenshots/text?).

                  Sorry for late, @Vlad.

                  I checked Chrome, Safari, Firefox. (Sorry for my default language is Korean.)

                  1. Chrome can't remove all extensions. But Chrome open confirm dialog when removing each extension.
                  2. Also Safari can't remove all extensions. But Safari's Extensions are connected with Application. So Safari alerts says "If you don't remove application, Safari Extension won't removed".

                  3. And Also Firefox can't remove all extensions. But Firefox open confirm dialog when removing each extension.

                  Orion's "Uninstall All Extensions" is great. It can be important for reset extensions. But I think Orion have to confirm action before Uninstall Each Extension or Uninstall All Extensions.

                    Vlad changed the title to Confirm Uninstall an/all Extension(s) .
