What happened? How did it happen? What are the steps to replicate the issue.
It’s should be API maybe or Agent User , but on the new (preview) version of google extensions store it’s not working , mean that you can’t install extension. I switch it back to old and working. So you can look for this

What did you expect to happen? Describe the desired functionality.
Nothing horrible

Any update?

I downloaded Orion today specifically in order to be able to use chrome extensions. But install is disabled.

I see that it’s due to changes in the webstore itself. Is there a plan to adapt to that any time soon?

Vlad

Lotsofjoy Yes we will update the support in the next Orion iOS release. Firefox store works in the meantime.

The Add To Orion button doesn’t show up.
Firefox extensions page has the proper button and works.

The “Add To Orion” button to show up so that I can install.

Can confirm that iPad cannot install the extension from Chrome Webstore in the current latest version.

cyfung1031 We released a testflight today (access through our discord) that solves the problem, rolling out to app store soon for all users.

Search a chrome extension name in Google
Click the result link to enter the chrome web store page
The url address is shown with the domain chromewebstore.google.com
(Noticed that add button is not working and it should be fixed in the next version)
click refresh button
the page will be redirected to another layout.
The url address is shown with the domain chrome.google.com

The page after refreshed shall be the same page.
