The comment I directly linked to comes from one of Orion's founders. It's a good tl;dr of what's happening. "Orion founder here. Just to confirm that 1Password team never made an effort to contact us or work on this with us. We are open to help. As far as I can see, this feature request has simply been ignored for almost a year, while being one of the most requested features from 1Password users on this forum? I am sure everyone would appreciate a decent explaination of what is going on."

I'm not a 1pass user, but perhaps the explanation is that its a niche browser and they don't have the bandwidth for it right now? This is the first time I've ever heard of Orion browser. Should they also be building plugins on every other non-major browser? There are several bigger than Orion

  Orion browser supports the WebExtensions API, and Chrome or Firefox extensions work with it. They don't actually need to build anything, they just need to flip a switch to enable the extension to work with the Desktop client.

    > they just need to flip a switch Do they have to support it going forward ? Can the user “just need to” use another browser?

Cool except "most requested features from 1Password users on this forum" is not a measure of what proportion of 1password users that is, only that there is a very noisy cohort. It honestly wouldn't surprise me if the people filling the forum with these requests represented 100% of users of both Orion and 1Password. Noisy users != most common and/or largest proportion of users. [edit: Oh wow, I just went to the website, and it only offers a beta download. So this is a tiny browser that doesn't even have a stable release demanding that they're supported as though they're a major one with a significant number of users?]

The explanation is a PM at 1Password decided it wasn’t worth prioritizing, likely for good reason.
