Oh I don’t mind running iOS wrapper from Mozilla for Firefox mobile - but give me unlock origin, and I’ll thank you for ever!

You might be interested in Orion Browser [0] which is WebKit based and can install Firefox and Chrome extensions. [0] https://kagi.com/orion/ https://kagi.com/orion/

  Oh my god. If Orion supports the SponsorBlock extension, I'll die of happiness.

  Thanks, I'd forgotten about this.

  That’s perfect! It is funny that Kagi’s mobile browser allows Firefox extensions on iOS but Firefox for iOS doesn’t?

    Maybe it does install but the extensions never really work. Can't explain this otherwise.

      Firefox mobile extensions on mobile was basically a graveyard during their mobile overhaul. But it sounds like they are slowly making it easier to support mobile extensions with a metaphorical (or maybe literal) push of a button.

Please, they could do it even with the WebKit wrapper. Edge managed to get AdBlock Pro and Brave has a content blocker built in.

  Are people still struggling with ad blockers on iOS in 2024? Just get the Wipr Safari extension, haven’t seen an ad since I got it the year extensions were introduced.

  And neither can block as much as uBlock Origin because of Webkit's limitations.

    https://kagi.com/orion/ https://kagi.com/orion/ Orion uses WebKit and has uBlock origin so I'm not so sure it's a limitation of WebKit itself.

      Kagi is trying to implement the Web Extensions API on top of WebKit, that's why some extensions work: https://kagi.com/orion/faq.html#extensions https://kagi.com/orion/faq.html#extensions Write enough code and you can make these extensions run on IE6. :P

  Firefox’s Strict Tracking Protection blocks more ads than Edge’s ABP.
