    • Hi, I am surprised that Orion does not work with split view on iPads. I cannot even get it to work with "stage manager". It caused my device to reboot. I'm using it on an iPad Pro 11 inch, 2gen, running iOS 18.2.1. Other major browsers like chrome and edge support this.
      Ironically, I can do a split window With Orion and other apps like Safari, mail, etc. Orion seems to refuse to load up a second instance. I tried this with "focus mode" Enabled and disabled. Did not make a difference.

      Steps to reproduce:

      1. Open multiple tabs, attempt to slide one over to the right. This doesn't work.
      2. Another way is to click on the triple dot menu at the top, And select "Split view." When I Select Orion as the additional window, I get a "Open windows not supported" message.

      In theory, opening up "stage manager" should allow any app to run in multiple window. Orion is the first app I've encountered that will not work with "Stage manager". 🤔
      On larger iPads, split windows, even for the same browser, can be really handy for Comparing web results.
      I have attached a short screen movie showing how option 2 does not work. Thx

      • Reposted under suggestions. How does one delete a post?

          Thanks for the quick reply. The screenshot is from my iPad, but it sounds like this feature is not currently available for iPads. It would be a “nice to have,” But I’ve found customizing the toolbar is more useful on my iPhone. Just a phenomenal browser, by the way. 👍

          • I second this suggestion. I tried deleting all the bookmarks/folders and exported the html file. Seems like adding bookmarks under the proper headings should put them in the same place in Orion. However, they always go to a “imported <date>” subfolder. I can move an imported folder to the desired Orion bookmark/favorite folder, but cannot mass move individual bookmarks, at least on iOS.

            I couldn’t find anything in the documentation about this. If there is something I need to add to the HTML file, please let me know. Thx!

            • I was trying to add “home” to the toolbar on my iPad 11 inch running iOS 18.2. I noticed the toolbar did not reflect the current toolbar settings nor the change I made. (See screenshot)
              When I press The toolbar “reset” the app crashes. However, the custom toolbar works fine on the iPhone version of the app And does not crash when resetting to default.

              Would like the toolbar functionality to work the same on iPad as it does on the iPhone.

              Thx!
