red_alpacalypse··on Orion Browser by Kagi
Whatever you think uBlock Origin is doing; it‘s most likely just the built-in Orion ad-blocking.

While uBlock Origin can be installed in Orion on iOS just fine, it remains non-functional.

As discussed before, I find this to be false advertising by Kagi: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48476448

Next best thing for me is using Safari with uBlock Origin Lite, which actually works.

Well, yes. I never said otherwise. But he is not the one to respond.

Instead I'd like a reply from the Orion PM, because they are the ones throwing around seemingly misleading claims about their product.

uBlock Origin Lite had a TestFlight and now works fine as a Safari extension on iOS.

uBlock Origin never claimed their Firefox extension works in Orion. So I don't think they need to respond.

Exactly. And that is why I find the parent comment from the Orion PM misleading at best.

Because it sounds like uBlock Origin works on iOS, when in reality it doesn’t and probably won‘t in the forseeable future.

While you can install the Firefox uBlock Origin extension in Orion on iOS, it doesn't block any ads.

Could you please clarify?
