Extensions not working

gp

Many extensions do work. If you have particular issues with some, it may be worth documenting which these are.

You may find you don't need marvelous suspender on Orion, as there is a built-in "low power mode" which sounds like it might do similar.

Similarly, session buddy sounds a lot like Orion's built-in tab groups feature.

I even do not know how to document this - extensions simply do not work. I press on extensions button - and nothing is happening.

Now regarding your thoughts - "low power mode" is all or nothing. Marvelous suspender is more flexible (whitelists for example and other suspend/unsuspend options).
Session buddy is not exactly the same as tab groups as I can see. Can I search between all of my tabs? Can I autosave and have old versions of my sessions?

Is compatibility mode on?

Could you clarify how is the compatibility mode for particular web page is related to inability to start extension? Or are you talking about some other incompatibility mode?

Oh, I guess I understood what you wanted to ask. When I set compatibility mode - extensions buttons get inactive. But I have this mode off and extensions buttons are active. But when I press on these buttons - nothing happens.

What buttons?

So what’s happening is it knows I’m not using Google chrome and I can’t download any extension on Firefox or chrome extensions but this video only shows chrome. When I click add to Orion and this happens to EVERY EXTENSION not just this one in the video where when I click add to Orion it wants me to download Google chrome.

Here is the detail.

It should work both on iOS and Mac.

Hi, recently installed Orion on my mac and love the fact that it support both firefox and chrome extensions.
however, it looks like Orion doesn't support the new google chrome websotre https://chromewebstore.google.com yet. I can't install extensions from there (while firefox add-ons has no issue and works as expected).

I can confirm the new web store doesn't work on Version 0.99.125-beta (WebKit 616.1.22).
The good news is that it works on the current RC build (Version 0.99.125.4-rc (WebKit 617.1.6)) which should be landing on beta branch soon!

Steps to reproduce:
Extensions like decentraleyes, privacybadger and popup blocker should work but they don’t.

Expected behavior:
Extensions should work like privacybadger blocking things correctly and decentraleyes doing it’s job but popup blocker should stop popups.
