If anybody is interested, the original (not lite) firefox-version of uBlock Origin works just well in Orion (webkit based browser by kagi) in both iPhone and Mac. It is great to have it for safari though anyway as safari is the default browser in these platforms.

I love, LOVE Orion. Use it both on iPhone and Mac. However, lately, it's becoming more and more buggy and sluggish. Writing this in Orion though - just have to quit it a few times a day to battle the RAM consumption and sluggishness. So yeah, like the other person says: DEFINETELY still beta. And yes, I report the issues.

Yeah, I am mainly using firefox on desktop, but orion on the phone because this is the only way to get extensions on ios. I do have crashes once in a while in certain websites. It is annoying, but, for me personally, being able to use certain extensions (ublock, dark reader etc) makes it worth the occasional crash.

What’s the alternative? Using an Android phone with all of Google’s surveillance? A windows laptop with bad battery life, bloatware, and Microsoft’s increasingly bad dark pattern abuse? I feel like no matter what, consumers are screwed.

I have been extremely happy with GrapheneOS. The built-in browser includes ad blocking, although it is not as good as uBlock Origin.

Just run Firefox for Android. You can run a full copy of mv2 ublock origin

I didn’t know there was a 18.6. I usually get notification.

Update notifications seem to be delayed in iOS. Batches of devices get them at different times for A/B testing and reduce bandwidth requirements. This is based on my personal observation of different devices. I could be wrong.

And note that all of HN is updating it is taking forever.

How come? Wipr 2 is going a good job for me. Why might I prefer uBO?

I haven't installed it but I might only because I can't disable Wipr 2 for some sites that I want/need. uBO Lite can do this. Other than that, I really like Wipr 2 and other apps by Kaylee.

Hmm, you should be able to, with instructions at https://kaylees.site/wipr-help.html#how-do-i-disable-wipr

(Not trying to talk you out of it. I have no dog in the hunt; use whatever you like. Just helping an Internet peer troubleshoot, as is my wont.)

Graphene recommends Vanadium as Firefox "does not have internal sandboxing on Android".

Update your iphone and it will work

This doesn't work for phones that are limited to earlier iOS versions. Content blocking was available to developers all the way back to iOS 9. Why would these guys deliberately limit their software to only the latest versions?

The oldest supported iPhone is nearly 7 years old. Can you point to another officially supported phone that’s older?

I don't understand why someone, with some technical education, would use any chromium based browser instead of firefox, any ideas?

Firefox kills my battery on an M4 MBP, it’s astonishing. Chromium and Webkit browsers don’t give me that problem.

Also, FF extensions still don’t support service workers, only background pages

People should be way more upset at the fact that Safari adblocking today is still inferior to even MV3 Google Chrome. Apple's implementation of declarativeNetRequest was semi-broken until the very latest iOS 18.6. Apple can do the bare minimum, years after everyone else, and barely get called out. The Reality Distortion Field is the enemy. Also funny that other devs had the gall to make people pay (sometimes subscrip…

GrapheneOS. Linux. Gecko-based browsers.

How is the overall Graphene OS experience? Do you have any problems with banking or payment apps?

Banking and Credit Unions are a breeze for me. Grok is a no-go. Frustrating, given that's where all of xAI's new features go.

Way better than stock Android or iOS, which are basically spyware by design.

I have had no issues with any bank or brokerage apps, but NFC payments with Google Pay are blocked.
