Brief Summary
The user works remotely and frequently uses Google Calendar and Google Meet for meetings, which often require screen sharing. They find it inconvenient and intrusive to share their entire screen because personal messages and tabs might be visible to their colleagues. This issue led them to switch from Safari to Chrome. They are now trying to use Orion for work and would prefer a feature that allows sharing a specific tab or application rather than the entire screen.

My usual workflow involves using Google Calendar and Google Meet for meetings, as I work remotely most of the time and often share my screen. It's incredibly inconvenient to share my entire screen rather than a specific tab, because personal messages and the like may pop up from messengers, which I would prefer my colleagues not to see. I might have some personal tabs open, and if I share my screen, my colleagues will see these tabs, which I would prefer to avoid. That's precisely why I stopped using Safari for work purposes and switched to Chrome. Now, I'm attempting to use Orion for my professional needs.
I conducted some research and discovered that the implementation of this feature, for instance, in Chromium, is managed by the Google Handsouts extension. I attempted to install this extension directly from Chromium into Orion, but was unsuccessful in activating the corresponding functionality. This remains true even when I select compatibility mode and designate Chrome as the user-agent. Furthermore, if I choose Chrome as the user-agent, my ability to employ my own background becomes limited because everything starts to hang significantly. Thus, given that I spend most of my time on Google Meet, the capabilities of the Orion browser are crucial for me. Therefore, I am unable to fully utilize Orion as my working browser due to the aforementioned restrictions.
