"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."

Sounds like from that (may be out of date, some posts complaining are 15 days ago though), it runs but doesn't work:

This is in there officially from Orion:

"This is because Apple limitations, we will continue to improve Orion's native ad-block."

You should maybe give an apology unless you've been actually using it successfully with all features, not just installed it successfully.

Firefox Android actually runs real uBlock Origin in the ways you would expect.
