Everyday browsing

Orivon is built to be lived in, not opened only when you need a dapp. Everything you expect from a desktop browser is there, and a Web3 app is just another tab.

Extensions​

  • Chrome extensions, MV3 and MV2, from the Chrome Web Store, a .crx or .zip file, or a folder. Popups, side panels, keyboard shortcuts and DevTools panels work.
  • Full uBlock Origin: the complete MV2 version with blocking webRequest, the one Chrome no longer runs. New profiles come with it pinned.
  • Your wallet extension works as it does in Chrome. A native wallet is on the way.

Tabs and windows​

  • Tab groups with names and colours that survive a restart, split view, pinned and muted tabs, tab search, and idle tabs that go to sleep.
  • Tear a tab off into its own window with a live preview, and reopen closed tabs and windows.
  • Session restore after a restart or a crash.

Profiles and private windows​

Each profile is a separate browser with its own history, extensions and apps. A private window starts empty, keeps nothing, sends no usage statistics, and is deleted when you close it.

Privacy controls​

On by default: Global Privacy Control and the pop-up blocker. One switch away in Settings > Privacy: third-party cookie blocking, Do Not Track, HTTPS-only mode and secure DNS (Cloudflare or Quad9). Clear browsing data removes what you choose.

Bring your browser with you​

  • Bookmarks and history import from Chrome, Chromium, Edge, Brave and Firefox.
  • Passwords live in a local store encrypted by your system keyring, with a generator, autofill, and CSV import and export.

Reading and tools​

Reader view with read-aloud, find in page, print and Save as PDF, screenshots, picture in picture, screen sharing, and a side panel for bookmarks, history and downloads.

Your system​

Orivon can be your default browser and open links from other programs. It runs on Linux (natively on X11 and Wayland), Windows and macOS. Keyboard shortcuts can be remapped, and every control has a visible focus ring.

Text in the address bar that is not an address goes to DuckDuckGo by default; Settings > Search offers other engines or your own address. The engine's suggestions as you type are off by default. Suggestions from your history, bookmarks and open tabs always work.
