#62It's a shame Firefox on iOS has failed/refused to support third-party content filters [1] since 2019.

Somewhat ironically, you can install and use the Firefox uBO extension on Orion for iOS. Orion/Kagi figured out how to do it before Firefox/Mozilla.
I want to like Orion but I've seen the same bugs for a year now.
