On: Chrome is looking to permanently drop MV2 extension

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

This has been reported for some time: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43203237

Could you please clarify?

They can’t modify webkit on ios. They also don’t appear to contribute upstream. So it’s just not supported.

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.

What does uBlock Origin say in response to this? They had a TestFlight debut but i dont know anything beyond that

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.
