For me, it’s permanently this way. Orion is set as my default browser and works pretty ok when I open a link directly from another application. When I hit to create a new tab, the application slows to a crawl. I can start typing the search term / URL, but the phone freezes with the letters popped up. After a few seconds it gets moving again. Often I give up and jump over to safari to continue.

Steps to reproduce:
In iOS settings, select “Display & Brightness” -> “Appearance” -> “Dark”
Open/switch to Orion
Open the tab side bar
Tap the tab group name at the bottom of the side bar to open the tab group selector
Observe that all items in the tab group menu have black text on a grey background, unlike the tab titles which are white in a black background. This font color is too low-contrast to read easily.

Expected behavior:
The items in the tab group menu should use the same font color as the tab titles. Both should be set to a color with adequate contrast for the color scheme.

Steps to reproduce:
After using Orion for a while, the action bar freezes. I can’t create a new tab, view open tabs, etc. I can open a new tab by hitting an link in another application and allowing iOS to open it in Orion, my default browser.

I swipe Orion away to close it, then relaunch. The app opens quickly, but immediately freezes. I try to type a search string in the address bar, and the keyboard freezes mid tap, leaving a letter tool tip frozen on the screen. After a few seconds, the app unfreezes and starts working again with a functioning menu bar.

Expected behavior:
Action bar should always respond to taps, allowing me to create tabs, share, view tabs, etc.

App should not freeze on resume. It should be immediately responsive. If it needs to load, it should display a loading screen until it’s ready for input.

Steps to reproduce:
Browse around on Orion iPhone, creating about a dozen of tabs.
Leave for a while.
Come back.
Open the tab tray
Observe that many tabs are titled “Start Page” even though they have content. Some of these have the correct favicon for the actual site, but most don’t.
Tap one of these tabs and watch it load the expected content
Observe that the tab title has now updated to the correct value.

Expected behavior:
I expect the tabs to reflect the favicon and title of the page that is loaded into that tab, regardless of how long that tab has been opened. I expect the favicon and title will not change unless I navigate to a new page or the page pushes a dynamic update.

I am particularly interested in Gemini support.

It would be lovely to have Gemini bookmarks stored alongside my www bookmarks & synced. I would also like to have a way to add Gemini Capsules added to "read it later" / "reading list" services, so they appear in my queue/archive alongside all my other stuff.
