This looks neat but the biggest question I have and care about... UBO? Not the limited manifest v3 version or whatever it's referred to as, but the full bore block lists like in FF.

Excited to see where this goes!!

It doesn’t support the APIs ublock requires.

Huh? But I see it says "uBlock Origin" when I install it and the UI looks like what I remember from the full version.

It says "Firefox" when I check the extensions page, so maybe that's where it manages to bring the full version from.

Yes it lets you do it. It doesn’t work.

The webRequest API is key, dns is used, maybe a few more.

Looks like the macOS support has improved but iOS may never happen.

uBO is supported on Orion MacOS. On iOS it still depends on Apple.

Apple open sourced their WebExtension implementation, they seem open to contributions. I worry Orion doesn’t want to contribute upstream though.
