@Vlad - all of the features listed by @yokoffing when you asked them for a summary of the issues a month ago.
I'll paste them again. Orion currently advertises on the back of uBlock Origin working correctly. If this is the case, it should work. This has been a know issue since February of 2022, and the team continues to advertise uBlock Origin as an example of a fully functional extension working in the browser, when that is not true.
'uBlock Origin: Issues Summary
Here are the main issues identified in the thread:
1) uBO doesn't initialize correctly on a newly opened tab. Cosmetic filters in uBlock Origin's settings can fail to block elements on page load in a new tab (or after restarting Orion), but work after refreshing the tab: (Note: this includes the element picker not working, but this is a sub-issue of uBlock Origin not being able to block elements on page load in Orion).
uBlock Origin sometimes fails to block elements on websites when accessed through external links that open in a new tab.
uBlock works when the site is accessed in the same tab, but fails when accessed in a new tab through an external link.
Links to social media sites like Twitter and YouTube that open in new tabs exhibit this behavior as well. Refreshing the new tab causes uBlock to then block elements as intended.
2) If uBO was disabled, it sometimes fails to block elements on websites after being re-enabled from the Extensions menu. User must restart Orion.
3) uBO's control panel from the toolbar doesn't work when I am an advanced user is enabled.'
This thread has been open for more than a year now. This problem has nearly persisted for two years. I don't know how many more summaries of the issues the team needs.
