Hi there,

Please consider providing a list with working iOS / iPadOS extensions, for example at https://help.kagi.com/orion/browser-extensions/ios-ipados-extensions.html

On macOS there’s the “popular extensions” screen, so you have some basics which are known to function properly.

It seems on iOS there’s no such thing, and randomly trying extensions, that sometimes work for 50%, is quite frustrating…

Thank you!

    Nya There are 300,000 extensions out there, that change weekly. it is not clear how would be able to do this? Perhaps a community effort would be better.

        Vlad Perhaps a community effort would be better.

        I agree, however, would it not also be a good idea to at least provide “popular extensions” just like on macOS, so people know which of the "top X" extensions are working properly?

        Thank you!

            This seems a cumbersome task, but I feel the need. I am using AdGuard but that doesn't work (cannot select a part of the website to block on iOS), I am not willing to try every block app to see if selecting an element works.

              Nya We do not know what popular extensions on iOS are. (Orion does not track aything form the app). If someone submitted a list, we could consider implementing it.

                    Just so OP has some understanding the footprint of the WebExtensions API is massive. Many parts of which haven’t been implemented but have been promised.

                    In the meantime, it might make sense to create a subforum where people can say “X works but these are the issues.”

                      To clarify; i fully understand this, from a Developers perspective. But none of that is relevant, from a normal users perspective;

                      Here's how the average person in my environment responds:

                      1. Hurray, Kagi supports extensions, lets download the browser
                      2. They download a few popular extensions
                      3. They can install them (get no errors) but then at some point find out it's not actually working (/properly)
                      4. They get confused
                      5. They get annoyed, and don't understand
                      6. They stop using Orion browser, frustrated...

                      Don't shoot the messenger, i'm just communicating an issue i see (and proposed a solution.)
