It happens to me as well (iPhone 11, IOS 16.1). Frequent but difficult to reproduce, unknown pattern.
Orion iOS is randomly freeze when unused for a while

Steps to reproduce:
On iOS (iPhone 14), often when I come back from the background, I’m not able to click or scroll anything, including the page, the address bar, menu, etc. When I force close the app and restart it, it works again. This issue is intermittent but happens frequently.
I’ve attached a video; it’s not very eventful but it’s just me tapping all the menu buttons and the page itself. The only response is that when I tap the address bar the keyboard pops up but typing in it doesn’t do anything (clicking “Go” closes it).
Expected behavior:
Everything should be responsive after coming back from the background.
Orion, OS version; hardware type:
1.2.9 (1) (WebKit 8614.3.7.0.6)
iOS 16.2
iPhone XR

i get this too.
iphone 13 mini, latest stable iOS
notable settings: full adblock, bitwarden extension
it seems to only happen on pretty heavy websites
We released an update today that should address this.

Vlad it appears to not have been fixed. It still randomly happens. I noticed that Orion has to stay in the suspended state (unused in the app switcher) for a while, like more than 30min and it shouldn’t be the second or third app within the switcher, ensure it’s 8-10th app meaning it’s been a while since you used it (hard for a browser I use as my daily driver)
I noticed the same happens on iPad. I’m running iPadOS 17b3
iPhone 13 Pro Max, iOS 17b3
Wanted to get back to you after the update: I haven‘t had any crashes anymore. Sometimes, some sites seem to have to be reloaded again (as they are just blank then), but frequent enough that it‘s bothering me or even to call it a problem.
Thanks a bunch!
This happens to me 100% of the time using iOS Orion on an iPhone 15 pro. Only solution is to shut down the app and re-open but I can usually only surf for under a minute before a total freeze re-occurs.

This is a similar issue I've encountered, and I don't think it's fully fixed, again left in the background for a while, there's a probability that iOS Orion's tabs will go blank, which will then cause all extensions to fail
