Thank you for the response! Yeah, let's wait for a bug fix, then
MetaMask extension doesn't load
adry26 looks like the team is focused on improving browser functionalities rather than extensions support (except for 1Password which has been addressed in the latest release)
I use a lot BitWarden and MetaMask but unfortunately none of them is currently working as expected: BitWarden just works partially (issues with Autofill and SimpleMail API integration) while MetaMask does not work at all.
I've already pointed out all these issues to the devs, though.
- Edited
Metamask should work when installed form popular extensions. If that is not the case please post exact steps to reproduce.

heisznberg Same situation here. After new update, MTM extension keep loading popup, not work like the old version.
Vlad sorry about that, my intention wasn't to underestimate your work and effort by any mean.
I greatly appreciate all the work behind Orion and I've loved this browser since switching to it, would never go back to chromium-based browsers. I pay big respect to you and your development team, Vlad.
With that being said, yeah you definitely proved me wrong
Would love to see BitWarden and MetaMask being fully functional in the next RC
Metamask and Bitwarden are the two most important extensions to me, so if either of them is not working in Orion, there is not really a reason for me to make the switch. As much as I love the browser so far, I will have to postpone the switch
Fixed in RC, out today.
Latest RC:
beware that Metamask only works if installed from popular extensions, it won't work if you get it from firefox add-ons (stuck on loading loop). Screen record here
Update on this, as of today: Metamask extension still fails to load (installed from Popular Extensions
) and gets stuck.
Leaving a screen record here

Yes, MetaMask on Orion is not really fun to use on Orion. If it works, it is painfully slow, and sometimes websites do not accept the signing or forget it immediately.
I would love to see more support for it. After all, it seems to be one of the main reasons, at least in my situation, to use Orion over Safari.
As shown in this screen recording, Metamask extension is not detected as installed
within sites that require connecting your wallet.
This makes the extension basically unusable since you can't interact with applications.
To recreate head to https://www.codehawks.com/ and click Connect Wallet
on top right of the screen. You should notice that it does not get detected, and consequently you can't connect to the application
The expected behavior is to connect succesfully and that the Metamask extension completes all interactions smoothly
