  • Orion built-in adblocker blocks Kagi search results on iOS

  • BugsMobileDone

The built-in adblocker in strict mode seems to block all links pointing to Private Internet Access (VPN provider). If I disable the adblocker the links are shown without issues.

Legit search results should never be blocked on Kagi.

    Reproducible on desktop as well. The culprit appears to be Easylist. Curiously, µblock+easylist shows the search result as expected.

      1. Create a new profile on Orion
      2. Using the search engine of your choice (I tested Kagi, Google, DDG), search for "pia" or "private internet access"
      3. The top result is a link to privateinternetaccess.com but these links are blocked by the default configuration in Orion's content blocker, resulting in odd looking results:
        https://kagi.com/search?q=pia&r=no_region&sh=6gbYnFyBeDvxTgv4kq1wqw

      https://www.google.com/search?q=private+internet+access

      1. Disable easylist in Orion settings
      2. repeat step 2
      3. the results are shown correctly
      4. Firefox + uBlock with Easylist enabled still results in functional and expected search results, suggesting that there is something odd going on with the way Orion parses filter lists(?)
