I'm using Orion as my daily driver on iOS mainly because of a Safari bug[1]. It used to be very buggy, had frequent app crashes for no reason at all but nowadays (since a year?) works pretty fine, even the UBO plugin works fine. 1: You can long tap and select "Download Linked File" on any link in Safari, including links that are forbidden by Content Restrictions, such as a news.ycombinator.com link from google search. Ping me if a Safari engineer sees this and fixes it!

  I use Orion. I hit some crashes until I told it to autoclose tabs after a few days. I’d rather leave that off, but it’s a minor problem. I run three firefox plugins. They all work correctly.

  What is it with said bug, that makes you use another browser because of it? Seems not like a big deal..

  A bug that happens for no reason? Aren’t these typically some sort of memory access violation, or am I just showing my age of what used to be the cause? I know nothing of iOS inner workings, but is illegal memory access still possible where this would be the behavior?

  Honestly, I was using Orion as a daily driver for a few months now and it's crazy unreliable in my experience. It also somehow uses more RAM than Chrome/Brave doing the same things, but with lots of tiny incompatibilities. I actually just switched my self back to chrome/brave for what I was using Orion for.

It does work tho. Just not consistently lol

  Here's my test: I install Firefox version of the plugin and enable additional filter lists like "annoyances" and "cookie notices", then go to eurogamer.net 1. I still see cookie notice 2. I open uBlock and it says "blocked on this page: 0" That's "doesn't work" for me.

    Hm, interesting. Did you report this to their bug tracker? They're quite responsive and cases like this help them finding edge cases. My biggest use-case, youtube, works great, and most other sites work as well.
