    uBlock Origin is also available on iOS/iPadOS but only through the Orion browser. It would be nice if other browsers figured out how to allow Firefox extensions too but so far it looks to just be Orion.

    I'm not sure how Orion gets away with it, but Apple has been deadset against allowing other browsers to exist on their platform, Chrome, Edge, and Firefox on iOS are just a Safari wrapper. This strongly limits what they can offer for extensions. The only people who own Apple phones is Apple, everyone else is just renting.

    First of all: The extension doesn’t seem to be blocking any connection on Orion, only websites.

    Second of all: Here’s a link to the uBlock Origin Light app on the AppStore

    That app doesn’t work with the current version of safari. This is what I see when trying to enable:

    "uBO Lite" is not supported by this version of Safari.

    I’ve been using Orion with uBlock and have been satisfied the last few months.

    Requires just about the latest iOS (18.6)

    Also - Apple seems to be hiding it from search results on the App Store even though I found it a week ago!

    That was my reminder to update my system. Thanks!

    I’ll test out Safari + uBO for a bit and see if I prefer it. Do you have any sites you can check for how good your adblocker is? I used to use one but that was ages ago, I don’t remember the name anymore.

    :)

    Top web search results for “adblock test”—the top two, both, are usually good to both run (though I’ve never been too scientific about it)! One tries to show ads for your review, the other gives a % blocked.
