Opera was a strong contender to become my main browser (luckily firefox copied the most useful feature, it's vpn), if ublock is deactivated, I will let it go without a second look.
Since when does firefox have vpn,?
A week or two?

#402" We won't be able to provide / maintain this functionality indefinitely due to the complexity and tech debt, as well as the security risks it entails (we've actually found a number of bugs that are specific to MV2 lately). " Poor little Google doesn't have the resources to support mv2.
> we've actually found a number of bugs that are specific to MV2 lately
I bet they ain’t found shit, or even looked. There was a time I would read that charitably because it was Google, but that time has long passed. That reads like a lie to justify their actions.

How does DoH remove any capabilities of what the resolver can respond to queries with? I block ads via a DoH resolver.
DoH is intended to be indistinguishable from HTTPS traffic, if the application specifies a specific DoH server a DNS based ad block will not work. Right now The ad companies have not really figured this out and DoH largely works like port 53 DNS did. But give it a few years. They will up their game and our ability to mitm our own dns queries will vanish. I will miss it.
Freedom of DNS choice has nothing to do with DoH.
And you can definitely mitm a non-configurable DoH resolver if you absolutely needed to do that, as long as you can add your own trusted CA on a device.

#405This headline ("looking to") seems to soften the previous headlines I've seen about this. Is this a proclamation or a public negotiation???

accuweather.com was the biggest one, though it looks like they fixed it sometime in the last month.
I used accuweather.com in Firefox a bunch a decade ago. Did not have problems.
It was specifically broken like 4~ years ago and fixed within the last month or so.

#407PM of Orion here. Orion ( https://orionbrowser.com ) is a WebKit-based browser for Mac, Linux, iPadOS and iOS that supports both Chrome and Firefox extensions natively ⟩ including uBlock Origin. We have no plans to drop extension support. Content blocking is a feature, not a loophole, and we think users should have full control over what runs in their browser.
I recently needed to download Orion on a new computer and I couldnt find it in the AppStore.
No problem directly downloading from the source (arguably better cuz I can keep the installer) but is there a reason Apple isnt allowing Orion on the AppStore or was that a choice on Kagi's part?

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

For context, a small amount (~2% of subscription fees IIRC) goes to Yandex. The CEO argues that their goal is to provide the best possible search, and that they remain impartial to geopolitical issues. Reducing the quality of their product to pick sides on political issues is not a sacrifice they are willing to make. Whether or not you agree with this take, framing this as being supporters of the war in Ukraine is ex…

I'm a devoted Kagi user and really want to use Orion but keep running into perf issues and jank that frustrate me enough to switch back to something else. My most recent attempt was this past week. You all seem to maintain a very fast pace of development (the changelogs are always chock full of cool stuff) but the problems I am hitting have remained broken for ages. Some examples include: * The app hangs for 1~2 sec…
