> How will manifest v2 extensions work with Orion after manifest v3 roll out in Chrome?

> Same as before! Orion has its own implementation of the entire web extensions API and different "manifests" are just numbers. We support web extensions APIs regardless of how Google decided to call them or change them. Manifest change impacts mostly Chromium clones, and Orion will support both "manifest v2" and manifest v3" extensions in the future.

> Will Orion for iOS also support web extensions?

> Yes, we have preliminary support for some web extensions on iOS.

> Wait, are you sure? No browser on iOS can use Chrome/Firefox extensions!

> Orion makes it possible! We ported hundreds of web extension APIs to run on top of WebKit, which also runs on iOS.

Thanks, not having an iOS device or Mac I didn't check that far into their site. I'm not willing to invest into that ecosystem until Apple allows some freedom.
