Wonder what’s preventing this on iOS. iirc Orion manages to do it. Update: Just tried it in Orion. I could install the extension but it seems to be broken. This is what I remember reading though: ## Wait, are you saying I can run uBlock Origin and other Chrome/Firefox extensions in Orion?! Yes, Orion makes it possible! ## Wait, are you sure? No browser on iOS can use Chrome/Firefox extensions! Orion makes it possible! https://web.archive.org/web/20220329163943im_/https://browser.kagi.com/faq.html#ublock https://web.archive.org/web/20220329163943im_/https://browse...

Apple has a very strict browser policy on iOS: you must use either Safari or an Apple approved skin over the same underlying rendering engine. Apple policy is preventing Mozilla/Gecko from being built/distributed for the app store. It's so notorious that there has been legislation considered to address that practice: https://www.theregister.com/2022/04/26/apple_ios_browser/ https://www.theregister.com/2022/04/26/apple_ios_browser/
