From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I don't understand why you should use a proprietary WebKit browser on any OS that isn't by Apple. I've tried it out on my iPad because of the extensions support, but Ublock or any privacy-related extension didn't work, so I'll use Safari.
You should try reading the website because they tell you exactly that

You don't need uBlock because that functionality is built into the browser by default.
I tried the adblocker by Orion itself and it is way worse than Ublock Lite in Safari.
Yet Brave, Opera, Vivaldi and pretty much any other browser (Chromium or Gecko) allow you to use uBlock if you want, even if they have their own built in.
Keep in mind GNOME Web is worse than this when it's comes to functionality.
