Orion apparently allows extensions like uBlock Origin. Not sure if anyone has put it to the test but superficially, its there. Hard to tell where Orion ends and uBlock Origin begins since it seems adept at dealing with fingerprinting and other niceties by itself
You can't download and run code on iOS, which is pretty much the definition of an extension. You could ship some extensions "with" your browser, but at that point they're just a feature. iOS has adblocking addons at the system level though, doesn't it?
Ya, the extension aspects of iOS are a headache in terms of understanding everything. I look forward to liberalisation of 3rd party browsers allowed and any consequent innovation on mobile browsing.
