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


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


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

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

Write enough code and you can make these extensions run on IE6. :P


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.
