I was able to reproduce the spinning ball with a clean profile on the first try. But when I tried to record a video, I could no longer trigger it. Will report back when I have more consistent results.

Orion frequently freezes up on macOS 15 public beta
- Edited
If anyone is running syncthing (the login UI), I get a freeze 100% of the time. Safari unaffected
Using synology ui will also 100% lock up when a checkbox or another UI element comes up under DSM
I also have these crashes. In my case it happens from time to time when I have 2 windows open at the same time (each with a few tabs). I note the next crash

Yeah, this is an issue that is caused by clicking with two fingers, perhaps linked to a setting in macOS.
Whether it be selecting text and then clicking or clicking a link.
I was using latest dev beta for macOS, perhaps it's only happening with macOS 15.

Happened a few times in the past 1-2 days.
Websites that have login forms or other data entry fields seem to make the whole Orion freeze.
I can click into the field and manually type characters. I can't CMD+V or right-click to paste anything. The blinking cursor is missing.
Whenever this happens, Orion becomes slow and then I need to force kill and restart it.
As an example I am attaching this Allianz login website.
FYl i have the 1Password extension installed.
I am on MacOS 15.0 Public Beta.
EXPECTED BEHAVIOR:
Blinking cursor, can paste data into fields, Orion not freezing
0.99.128.1.1-beta
Sonoma (14)
It's a sporadic error. I'll experiment a bit more to try isolate the cause and make it reproducable.
BTW, i have a feeling this issue might be related to https://orionfeedback.org/d/8261-orion-frequently-freezes-up-on-macos-15-public-beta
Merged 3 posts from Orion freezes (becomes unresponsive) after cursor disappears in web form data-entry fields.

Vlad, latest update solved the issue of Syncthing UI and Synology UI issues/freezes 
Spoke too soon. this is so bad. the cursor disappears most of the time which I believe is the cause of this freeze bug. most websites, you cant see the text cursor like this box
rightsaidfred can you please let us know if Orion is still freezing and becoming non-responsive with the latest release? I suspect there are more then one specific issues, so we want to tackle them one-by-one, as that will make it easier to debug and fix those.

not only macos 15 I guess, I see the same on Sonoma...
I really wanna love Orion, even subscribed to it, but it feels kind of unusable as of now unfortunately
Vlad I found today that I may have too many tabs on a “tab window”, it makes Orion slow down a ton in here (although I imported that same tab group from safari where it runs pretty fine with all 98 tabs open.
Another thing I found is that low power mode really drags the whole performance of the browser to its knees, I disabled it
From my side, I confirm that the latest versions seem not to freeze anymore.

Happening to me lots on Youtube, usually with a few Youtube tabs open. Refresh solves it.

I'm seeing regular crashes of Orion 0.99.128.2.1-beta on macOS 15.0 Developer Beta. Compatibility mode does not help. I use Orion mainly for CAD (cad.onshape.com) and Orion (orionfeedback.org). I had no crashes for 6 months using Onshape in Orion under previous (non beta) macOS versions. Is there debug information I can post after a crash to help debug?
Update: also crashes when just browsing orionfeedback.org (often crashes in the background, when the Orion window is not active).
