Hey, I was wondering if it would be possible to add the chrome://extensions feature to the iOS Orion browser. (See attached image)

    You can see something similar in View->Show Library (cmd-shift-L), in the Extensions section.

    BarryHackz There are many things on that screenshot - What do you mean and what does Extensions menu in Orion iOS not already provide?

        Vlad I should’ve clarified better sorry, I specifically wanted the option to be able to load unpacked extensions and use downloaded files to add as an extension

            You can do that too. Tools->Extensions->Install from File...

              Vlad changed the title to Install from File for extensions .

                Vlad yeah, I probably made that way more confusing than it needed to be.

                    Hey install from file is not working or what format is the file supposed to be in

                      a year later

                      Following up on this, I've been unable to get even the simplest extension installed via file on iOS. What format is the file supposed to be in?

                        Pi314 xpi, crx & zip files are supported, and if you want to install uncompressed version, you can choose Manifest.JSON file from the extension folder for installation.

                        Please share detailed steps you tried to install extension from file. Having recorded video will help more even.

                            dino I've been trying to install a 3rd party extension from one of our system providers, it's used for a scale integration into a system. This extension works unpacked into Chrome on a desktop. I'm now trying to get this onto an iPad for operational uses using Orion.
                            I've installed the app and tried to load both the manifest.json file and an exported .crx file from Chrome with no luck. Do you have any advice for me?

                                ZaraBrennah Are you using iCloud drive for extension files? may be Orion is not installing that due to some permission issue, so you can move that to device storage and try again.

                                      Bump, getting same issue on latest Orion from AppStore on iPadOS & iOS. Cannot install extension via crx, zip, or manifest.json

                                        A fix for this issue is in the pipeline, it should ship soon in a version of Orion for iOS. Thank you for your patience.
