      • In Browser Import gets stuck / never completes

        Hi there, I am eager to try Orion and really like what I see so far, however I can't seem to get importing data from other browsers to work.

        Steps to reproduce:
        Freshly install Orion, go to Settings > General > Import and open the Import Wizard.
        Choose any browser and any import option - it does not matter which browser I choose, or what i choose to import from that browser. It always gets stuck at "Import from X" - "Importing browsing data from X... Please wait...".
        I have the following other browsers installed and tried importing from them: Firefox, Safari, Chrome, Brave.

        I already tried waiting 2 hours or more, to no avail.
        I tried resetting Orion, reinstalling Orion, deleting "~/Library/Application Support/Orion" and reinstalling Orion, rebooting my MacBook - the problem persists.
        I also tried giving Orion full disk access permission, no change.

        What I noticed is that Orion does import some bookmarks after i cancel the import. Choosing to import only bookmarks (so no passwords, history etc) doesn't prevent the import from getting stuck.

        Expected behavior:
        Import completes or gives an error message.

        Orion, OS version; hardware type:
        Orion Version: Version 0.99.121.1-beta (WebKit 614.1.20)
        OS Version: macOS Ventura 13.0.1 build 22A400
        Hardware: MacBook Pro M1 Max 16"

        Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help - crash dumps? log files?

        Thanks!
