  • Vlad Profiles is a new feature and I am sure over time a lot of users may use it as the benefits are great when it comes to privacy. I do accept there are more important features and issues work on. 🙂

    • Currently the Profiles is a sub-menu in File Menu. It would be nice to see the Profile move to its own menu. Suggested Screenshot attached.

      • I ran a test and found that the FB login from my FB profile and Google login from Google profile in the Personal (Default) profile is working.

        Opened FB in my Google profile and the login was not working. And vice versa when I opened Google in my FB profile, the login is not working as expected.

        Essentially, all logins from other profiles work in the default profile but not across the secondary profiles. Now I have to figure out a way to not use the default profile to prevent cross profile login sharing and privacy isolation.

        • Currently the Tab Groups are available only in Vertical Tabs. Normally we use the tabs in a horizontal view. Grouping them by just one level would be great. Example from Brave:

          The tab groups don't have to have a tree structure.

          • Steps to reproduce:

            1. Rename Default to something like 'Personal'
            2. Create couple new profiles.
            3. Switch to new profile and Default does have new name.
            4. The third profile may not show the second profile.

            Video of the profile issue.

            Expected behavior:
            All profiles should show up in the drop down when created with the correct names and colors.

            Workaround:
            Quit each profile individually from the Dock including the default profile after creating each new profile and launch each new profile. They are synced.

            • Found some bugs. The profile list is not updating across profiles. Here is a video:

              • I have not used FF Containers but will be giving it a try. Though I use Profiles extensively in Brave. I have my work account, personal account, Social and many other apps like various AWS Consoles for multiple accounts open all at the same time. Profiles allow me to login to them individually. I love the privacy features of Orion (just one day of use so far) and I like that it is not Chrome based. Thank you!

                • Steps to reproduce:
                  Open a couple of tabs in Orion. Make sure Bookmarks Bar is not showing.
                  Click Bookmarks > Show Bookmarks
                  Click View > Show Bookmarks.

                  Expected behavior:
                  The Bookmarks should move down
