  • Translation, Safari Extensions and being able to watch Netflix or prime, etc. videos as in Chrome or Edge.

  • SuggestionsDesktopNofix

For those of us non-English speakers (the majority in the world) who use safari, the safari translation introduced with Monterey has become essential. I was stunned to see that Orion did not have my safari extensions. I don't know how to get such extensions into Orion. I don't know if you can and if you can, they certainly haven't made that part easy. Safari had problems viewing content from platforms like Netflix or Prime on computers a few years ago: there were problems if you had 2 graphics cards and now there are problems because there is no support for Silverlight, so you have to use Chrome or Edge. In my case besides using real Mac's, I also have a Hackintosh installation with Monterey, with which I also can't watch videos with safari on such platforms, I must use Edge (in my case, which I like more). I would love to be able to watch movies and series in Safari, i.e. Orion. You are doing a wonderful job. If it's not too much to ask, please implement these features. Thank you.

    Early in development, we decided to natively support the Web Extensions API, the same API that Chrome and Firefox use to make their extension ecosystems so powerful. Unfortunately Apple diverged and decided to use a closed, proprietary API for Safari extensions.

    This is from the FAQ. It seems like the team's hands are tied here, although I'd be happy to be corrected on this. You might want to look at https://chrome.google.com/webstore/category/extensions or https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/ for a translator extension.

      This is three feedback posts in one. Please make separate ones next time.

      1. translation: this will be built in some time in the future. please check https://orionfeedback.org/d/532-translation-like-safari/10 for updates.
      2. safari extensions: this is not possible. use a chrome/firefox extension instead. See https://orionfeedback.org/d/93-safari-extension-support/11 for more.
      3. videos: this seems to be a lack of DRM. I'm not an expert on this, but I believe this would require explicit whitelisting by the people who control this DRM process, and not something that Orion can do, especially at this point in development.
