Vlad Yup you are right, it's just that there is no option to change the config of an app. We had to know before hand or else keep creating web app for the same site until we find one that suit our needs.

And I'm not sure whether the situation I faced with vscode.dev is a bug or intentional application of web apps (and of course I have no prior experience with bug reports and their templates so I'm kind of scared), that said, a web app should be able to handle new tabs/popups for some authorization prompts right? I was able to login to notion web app effortlessly maybe it imported some settings from my profile ( as I said It's not clear in the app creation menu) but I've got no luck with viscose.dev since orion doesn't seem to have a way of communicating back with the vscode app I created.

Anyway thanks for taking the time to reply, I'll see if I can open a bug report.

      Understood - although the option to enable specific apps could be quite useful.

      For example, uBlock Origin / Google Translate / Grammerly / Downie / Youtube Enhancer are quite useful to have on which would apply to most sites you would make an app. It could just be my preference, but that alone is enough to prevent me using Native Apps as a feature.

      Could we poll?

            Brief Summary
            Standalone apps should have their own settings, such as, user-agent, zoom level etc.

            Details:
            The summary above is clear enough. There should be a setting button or option that standalone apps should follow. It is very similar to the website settings option in the main app. Some of the other site-specific app tools, e.g., Unite, allows that. Advantage include being able to run websites/apps that only run in a specific browser, e.g., Bing chat app forces you to download Edge (yuck!). I'd like to have a small bing app running on Orion that I can configure to pretend to be Edge.

              vkt Instead, web app should remain lightweight just follow the profile settings of the profile they inherited. Is that not the case currently?

                    Vlad i believe that webapps are for a single app, and they act like an app. their settings should be isolated, and not based on a profile, but should inherit such settings when creating the webapp. it makes the most sense to edit a webapp's settings in its own settings window, not some other place.

                      vkt you can use adgaurd mac app to have a user agent with the custom edge for all apps in your device and then bing chat will work on orion. you have to use compatibility once so that you can have the 30 responses after signing in and then turn off compatibility after. Works so far for me as a workaround right now. Wish orion worked out of the box. custom agent doesnt work for bing chat out of the box for some reason @Vlad

                          also want to mention that you should have to put the new app you created under filtered applications for adgaurd to filter it separately with orion , just in case you go this route

                            Afain Bing chat now works for all browsers.

                              Vlad Even though they're rolling out support, it doesn't allow you to see chat history or go over 5 chats if you are not on Edge. This is why user agent switching to Edge is still necessary for Bing.

                                  The point here isnt about bing chat, thats just a single nitpick, and avoiding the real problem here. sometimes you want a these webapps to do one thing, and one thing. changing settings for them to optimize or customize them is hard to do without a dedicated settings window
