Also plugging Firefox mobile here if you do any web browsing from mobile. You can add uBlock Origin on Firefox mobile, which you can't do on Chrome mobile.

But only on Android as far as I know

Firefox on iOS is a safari wrapper. They do what they can, but they can’t support extensions the same way the Android browser does.

It’s a real shame Apple continues to block it from being full-fat.

Orion can. My guess is that it's just not a priority.

From a quick web search, while it supports installing firefox plugins they may not all work as expected due to limitations/differences in the browser APIs, and ublock origin fails to work properly as a result.

So IMHO mozilla are probably choosing "Let's not" rather than "Let's deliver a broken experience"

As one user on reddit said - "Orion supports Firefox and Chrome extensions. Yes. And you can install them. Yes. Do they work, though? No, most of them don't. Orion is lying about their extension support. "

Thanks, but this does not apply to me, not using Chrome is part of my ad blocking strategy.

Safari is limited in the same way as Chrome manifest v3, allowing basically only a URL blacklist. They're crippled compared to uBlock Origin's various other blocking capabilities.

Safari extensions can inject scripts/css as well. That's not as full featured as ubo, but is not "basically only a URL blacklist" either.

I’m also going to add for now you can still manually install ublock on the latest chrome by downloading it from GitHub and installing it under manage extensions. For now.

I see. Your mentioning of Google distracted me, how are they involved?
