Orion is nice but it works by using Safari’s extensions API under the hood. Safari does have a fairly thorough extensions API even on mobile but it’s missing things like webRequest. This is particularly a problem for the Bypass Paywalls extension because you can’t change things like referer. It’s the biggest thing I miss from android.
