My understanding is that Orion has already installed uBlock Origin out of the box. No need to install the extension.

Wait... so they browser says it's supports manifest v2 and lets you install v2 extensions, but then they just silently don't work? That's pretty confusing behavior. Why even offer them if they're blocked on an OS level?

That is my understanding, they can’t fully implement some of the lower level functions on iOS. The APIs seem to fail but fail silently so you can install the extension, it appears to be working but it does not.

I think failing loudly would be better for users.

Huh because I thought it was nuts I could block youtube ads. I thought it was ublock.
