Newest Orion for iOS Fails to Block Ads

isocat

Just updated to Orion 1.3.27 (7) (WebKit 8621.3.11.10.3) on my iPhone. Now I'm seeing ads in Reddit that weren't there, in the same feed, immediately before the upgrade. Here are pics of these "sponsored posts" (ads).

One of the primary main objectives of my switch to Orion was to see fewer ads. Latest update appears to have broken that. 😖😞🤯

Hey, could you answer these questions so we can narrow this one down?

If you quit Orion and launch it again, are the ads still there?
In Settings → Content Blockers → Manage Content Blocker, do you have the rule reddit.com##.promotedlink?
Are you accessing reddit.com in your example by simply typing reddit.com in your URL bar, or are you doing it via, say, a daily recap email they send?

Based on my experience, I'd say relaunching the browser will fix the issue. This consequently makes it quite difficult to reproduce, as it seems to coincide with some updates.

Done in one! Quit/relaunch banished the ads. Thanks a bunch! 🤓😻
