Kagi's Orion on iOS is good, and supports ff/chrome extensions

Kind of, but not really, the ublock origin app doesn't work on Orion. I tried both Kagi + uBlock versus Brave and their built-in ad-block and Brave had a much better performance.

True, none of the extensions I tried actually worked as intended.

Fwiw Orion uses the actual extensions, not the uBO Lite app (for Safari) that I think you're referring to.
