    Open tabs also should be synced (in an open on your X fashion)

      Absolutely essential feature for me and I would assume many others in the Apple ecosystem. Bookmarks is most import to me. Can’t adopt Orion as daily driver until there is a solution whether baked into Orion or xsyncbookmarks. Prefer baked in. Better security.

        grey3345 Problem with cards like this they request all of browser data to be synced.That is a lot of work (settings, history, extensions?, background image...). It is better to ask a single thing in the issue so we can tackle smaller problems.

            How do you plan to sync while preserving privacy?

              Vlad Mostly bookmarks for me. I can make this a bunch of separate cards if thats more helpful.

                  Yup. As much as I like Orion, I won't be using it without cross device sync.

                    I love using Orion, it's one of the best browsers I've used, the only thing holding me back is cross device syncing. Switching from safari to Orion on macOS was easy but there was no way to sync my bookmarks, passwords, extensions and stuff to the iOS version.

                      Orion already syncs passwords between macOS and iOS versions.

                      Safari does not sync extensions.

                      The main difference is sync of bookmarks and open tabs, which is work in progress.

                          I would say that History should also be synced. Not as important as Bookmarks or Open Tabs right now but definitly something that should be done in a near future.
                          Settings aren't a priority because they aren't changed too often, making the impact of not having them synced very little.

                              Vlad I think it just displays it chronologically without taking the device into consideration. At least that's what I remember from when I used Edge before Orion.

                                  Vlad it’s how safari operates from my understanding, and works fine for me.

                                    Yep I agree. History and bookmarks sync will seal the deal to make Orion my default browser. 🙂 I’m sure for many people this convenience is important for a good workflow

                                      While I think History sync is important, I also agree with @Vlad that it should be marked as per device, otherwise it will ensure confusion. This is my opinion irrespective of how other browsers work, Orion doesn't have to copy exactly how other browsers work.

                                      PS: I am using Orion as my default (≠ main) browser for some time now, w/ Safari and Firefox as backup.
