it's already working really well on my iOS 13 iPhone SE. the safari on this version struggles to render any 'modern' website these days, this browser works perfectly and I can even use uBlock Origin with it.

I was also about to go back to CDs but realized it’s a pain, and streaming is a completely different, fluid experience. CDs are expensive, if you listen to new artists, it’s a whole process just to buy one. On the other hand, streaming apps now have recommendation algorithms and ...

Firefox should really bundle ublock origin as-is. I install it afterwards anyway but I don't understand Mozilla here. They seem to want to stay behind Google.

Discussion around Origin over the four-week window was overwhelmingly positive, with sentiment climbing noticeably from the first tracked week to the second and carrying a clear upward direction. Feature praise dominated the conversation by a wide margin, appearing in nearly every mention captured, while ease of use and interface appreciation added secondary layers of enthusiasm. Commenters consistently framed Origin as a practical solution to real browsing and filtering frustrations, with several mentions highlighting how well it performed on older or constrained hardware. One commenter specifically noted it working cleanly on a legacy iOS device where other browsers struggled, reinforcing a thread of praise around reliability in limited environments.

The sentiment trajectory showed a modest but meaningful rise, moving from the lower end of a strong range at the opening of the window to a higher point by the second week, with mention volume also doubling. This acceleration in discussion volume alongside improved tone suggested growing organic enthusiasm rather than a static audience. No complaint themes registered during this period, which is notable given the volume of mentions, pointing to a community in an appreciative rather than critical mode.

Some division appeared around context rather than the product itself. A handful of mentions framed Origin in comparison to browser defaults and competitor ecosystems, with commenters expressing mild frustration directed at third parties for not bundling similar functionality. This comparative praise indirectly elevated Origin's reputation but also revealed a slightly fractured conversation where some users were venting broader ecosystem grievances rather than speaking to the product in isolation.

Overall discussion suggested a user base that feels strongly about Origin as a workaround for gaps left by mainstream options, with the tone leaning toward advocacy and gratitude.
