Autoupdate extensions

les

Sorry, I had better made more thorough search. Thank you.

Ah I didn't know about this.
That's really annoying as it means we have to keep backing up the settings and then restoring. Some extensions like Dark Reader don't even support settings export and import 🙁

catch-22 Well that is not how we intend this to be handled, just the feature needs to be built. Which will happen proportionally fast to the number of upvotes this issue has 🙂

I just installed Orion and I got last version 1.39.2 😄

Cricri You always get the latest version when you install an extension. Problem is that you're stuck with that version unless you reinstall it every time an update comes out

To watch when a new version will be updated

The workaround for this is to remove and re-install extensions, but having the ability to auto update them would be awesome.

Seconded. Compatibility with existing extensions is the feature that sets Orion apart from Safari for me. I hope this will be implemented reasonably soon.

Update: Vlad said that this should be ready by the end of the summer.

by the end of summer I would say

To whom it may concern,

I see no option to update the installed extensions in the Orion browser. I might have missed something but so far I failed to find a way. The only way is to re-download them. Please let me know if I'm missing something. It was the same way on the previous version too.

Orion Version 0.99.121-beta (WebKit 614.1.20), MBA M1, Monterey 12.1

Hello Orion,

i didn't notice any btn for checking and updating installed extension.
where can i find update btn ?

Is there any progress on this front? I've been holding off from switching to Orion for this sole reason, checking this thread once every couple weeks for updates.

As an aside, shouldn't this post belong to the Suggestions section, instead of the Bugs section which it currently belongs to?

Vlad

Banana5229 Planned for 125. Do not hold off switching as otherwise there will always be a reason not to switch. A browser is never perfect.

Vlad 125 beta?

Vlad Considering that the Chrome/Firefox extension support is one of Orion's standout features, if not the main one, the lack of complete API support and auto-updating is a deal breaker for a lot of people, me included. I can deal with a few crashes and bugs here and there, but not being able to use extensions that are essential for either personal or work use means that Orion cannot become my daily driver
