I read somewhere that Orion recommends turning off the built in ad blocking if you want to use Ublock
uBO on ios doesn't work properly
I noticed similar issues. I think the reason is that Orion on iOS supports fewer Web Extension APIs than it does on desktop (see the list below). As far as I know, uBlock Origin makes heavy use of the webRequest API, and this seems to be mostly unsupported on iOS. So I decided for me to use uBlock Origin only with the Mac version and rely on Orion’s built-in content blocking on iOS.
When using the uBlock Origin browser extension on iPhone or iPad, it is unable to block any ads or trackers on webpages. The displayed interception count always remains at 0. This result is consistent whether downloading the version from Chrome or Firefox's software store.
The Mac version of Orion has average support for Tampermonkey, but fortunately everything works fine when using Violentmonkey. I hope that Orion can better support extensions like uBlock Origin and Tampermonkey, especially on the iPhone and iPad versions.

I have a crash that I can repeat with the latest version of Orion:
- Open Orion (0.99.127.2-beta (WebKit 619.1.1)) with existing tabs in your profile from your last session
- Make sure you have uBlock Origin extension installed (Firefox version, I am running uBlock Origin 1.57.2)
- For some obscure reason having uBlock Origin enabled at the moment, all pages never complete the load (I am not the only one experiencing this, Yum on Discord had it as well)
- I go to Tools > Extensions > Manage Extensions...
- Disable uBlock Origin
- Bam crash
I am attaching the crash log.
I notice that when I re-run Orion, the uBlock Origin is disabled, if I go back to enable it and disable without closing the window, it doesn't crash, so I guess it is related to pages not loading.
Expected: Orion should not crash.
Unrelated or related, I don't know, but pages don't load with uBlock Origin enabled right now. Obviously pages should be loading at all times when there is connectivity.

I haven't experienced a crash, but I'm having the same problem where no web pages will load at all with uBlock Origin enabled. (I just started using UBO today so I don't know if it would have ever previously worked.)
In addition, once it's in this state, I can't disable UBO without first closing out Orion and re-opening it. If it's stuck on loading a page, the extension refuses to be disabled.
Also, clicking on the extension icon does nothing; there is no options dialog at all, not even an empty one.

Getting uBlock Origin to work at 100% should have been a priority from the very start
As good as the internal content blocker is it will never deliver the same flexibility and blocking capability as uBO
When uBO works as good as it does in Firefox I will make Orion my daily driver browser
Just tried the new Orion update (0.99.127.3-beta (WebKit 619.1.1)) and it's still crashing, and infinitely loading websites with uBlock Origin enabled.
dino interestingly, it's not reproducible in a new clean profile.
You gave me an idea, I uninstalled uBlock Origin in my main profile, then reinstalled it. It is loading websites normally now, and disabling uBlock Origin no longer crashes Orion.
Still, hopefully you can fix the crash bug for anyone else who might be experiencing the issues.
I had the same issue (crashes on disabling, impossible loading of any pages), on the lastest non-paid version of the beta browser (updated few minutes ago). Sent a crash report via the automatic pop-up on browser's restart.
I'll try to uninstall / fresh install uBlock Origin, as it seems to have worked with @frin ...
I hope for a fix, but it is all i can do (i am code illiterate

nice day to all
