Popular Extension Bonjourr. Orion doesn't respect Bonjourr settings.

anemones

Installed Bonjourr (tried Chrome, Firefox, and manual Safari). Have it set as Start Page. Change Bonjourr settings (clock type, size, font, greeting, etc.). Quit Orion and reopen. Settings preserved as changed, but Start Page (and new tab) view don't match the settings. Bonjourr working fine on Chrome and Safari.

Expect Start Page view (using Bonjourr) to match the Bonjourr settings.

Orion 0.99.130.2-beta on macOS Sequoia 15.2

Hey @anemones

We are trying to make as many browser extensions as possible compatible. However, we are a small team, and it is not always possible to keep up with the technological choices of developers. Rest assured that we are doing our best to keep up. Thank you for your report, which we will take into consideration.

Yannick this is one of the popular extensions that is listed by Kagi in Orion browser along with a similar one - Momentum. None of those are functional as they are expected to be. Each new tab just restarts extension onboarding process.

It seems like Orion isn’t keeping a cookie or persistent pref file from these extensions that tells the new tab, that user already has the extension setup. With each new tab, it insists on restarting onboarding like fresh install.

I kwow, I know 🙁
It's not that simple unfortunately

do we know what's causing it? I tried uninstalling orion and deleted all related files and bonjourr is still broken. latest orion update didnt help, the extension on ios works fine tho

Yannick

To ensure extensions work on Orion, we need to adapt the 300 Chrome APIs 🫣 . We may not necessarily do it in the same order because we are two different teams.

Yannick what about the firefox version? that doesn't work properly either. Not trying to rush you guys, just want to know what sort of workload you guys are dealing with

Yannick

itsN1che This is something we have to implement and maintain throughout the year. Thus, it depends on the urgencies and our product roadmap.

By the way, you can also use Safari extensions now (well, most of them).

Any updates here? I'm running into this too. Agreed that it's strange this is listed as a popular extension and doesn't even work. Should remove it if it's not going to work.

Shayne120 It will no longer be in popular extensions soon. This does not mean that it will not be fixed by then. We really have many extensions to repair...
