One more reason to stick with Firefox
Other browsers already do, firefox users just cant stop licking mozillas balls
On mobile? Very few do
The point is they already do unlike what the article claims
It’s desktop extensions. Most mobile browsers only support a subset of all available extensions (including Firefox!). Now, Firefox will support its whole library of extensions.
They only mention “open extension ecosystem” idk if that means everything and also I haven’t found an extension not working on mine yet I have even installed a flash player extension for flash games on my browser so no opinion on those statements
They only mention “open extension ecosystem”
- The title: “Prepare your Firefox desktop extension for the upcoming Android release”
- End of the first paragraph: “Here’s everything developers need to know to get their Firefox desktop extensions ready for Android usage and discoverability on AMO…”
- End of the second paragraph: “so why not start optimizing your desktop extension for mobile-use right away?”
also I haven’t found an extension not working on mine yet I have even installed a flash player extension for flash games on my browser so no opinion on those statements
And those were installed from the mozilla addon library? With full support for a mobile interface? And you tried every extension available?
I have even installed a flash player extension for flash games
Flash used to be a mobile extension…
Mobile FF is already awesome with UBlock Origin and YT background playback extensions. I wish to install an auto redirect extension. (Twitter to Nitter) I know it is doable on beta w/ extensions etc. but I want to see them on normal Firefox.
I used to have an app to do the redirection on several sites automically but afair the Nitter thing was just so unstable that I removed the app.
It might have been some time ago, because even the main instance has been consistently working for me as of recent
They already support uBlock origin and that’s all I need.
On android I find its also a good idea to have a system wide ad blocker solution because android and all their apps are so inundated by ads, so I recommend dns66 (which can be found on fdroid) which has multiple blocklists you can subscribe to. This will cover some ads thats are built directly into apps and almost all ads that would appear in websites on a browser. This helps a lot since some apps will open a browser window for -reasons- and they sometimes have their own internal browser or they will just use chrome by default, not respecting your default browser choice, and in those cases you cant have ublock installed to protect you and those pages are so ad-overloaded that finding what you are looking for is next to impossible.
I’ve got a Pihole set up running on my NAS but unfortunately it’s really difficult to find ad tracking lists that both 1) block ads effectively and 2) don’t break a large portion of webpages
Yeah I wish I could edit my hosts file for example so it blocks all advertisement websites.
Try Blokada
Whoa 🤯. Never realized this somehow. That’s awesome. No ads on mobile.
On iOS or just Android?
Oh on Android for me.
That’s nice, maybe they can finally re-enable about:config in the damn thing too. They removed it from mobile Firefox years ago and the lack of it aggravates the hell out of me.
Fennec still supports it, just as it supports add-ons from the official Mozilla store. Don’t see any reason why I should go back to the official app.
How do I make use of this? I can’t see a way to install them on my Fennec from F Droid
