Orion 1.1 brings multi-account containers, page translation, redesigned settings, and more

Orion 1.1 is now available as the latest version of this WebKit-based and privacy-focused web browser that supports extensions from Safari, Chrome, and Firefox. With this update, Orion now lets users fully isolate browsing sessions between tabs and tab groups by using containers. This feature, already present in Firefox and other web browsers, helps keep work, personal, or professional browsing strictly separated in a single window.

With over 170 improvements and bug fixes, this update debuts a refreshed user interface and a suite of exclusive features. Built-in page translation is now included, giving users the choice of a local translation engine or integration with Kagi Translate, though the latter remains available only to Kagi subscribers.

Following these major additions, Orion users can now rename tabs for improved navigation, use a redesigned appearance settings interface with a cleaner layout, and benefit from unified status indicators in the location bar that consolidate multiple icons into one. Developers and privacy-conscious users will find new tools in this release, including a service workers inspector within the develop menu and auto-updating content blocking lists.

Orion+ subscribers receive extra customization through special colored window borders and unique app icons. The release is rounded out with numerous further enhancements and bug fixes.

Really hope this catches up and becomes more than just viable, I don't like safari that much but it is unmatched for performance and battery with a macbook while on battery, so an equivalent with better customization would be amazing. Tried the beta for a while, and also the v1 release and it just wasn't there, so I guess its time to give it another go.
