Firefox Preview Nightly with uBlock Origin Support Released

• noja 7y ago
  It's built-in, rather than an add-on?

    Perhaps it's special because it's a mobile app, and the only way to get the functionality is to have it included? I don't use Android, but there's no add-ons on the IOS version.

      Regular Firefox for Android already supports add-ons (including uBlock Origin), this release is for the coming new version, Firefox Preview, which so far didn’t have support for any add-ons.

    The non-nightly Firefox Preview for Android doesn't support add-ons. I imagine the title is just to emphasis that add-ons such as uBlock Origin work with this nightly.

  Been waiting for uBlock Origin support for some time. I'm really glad the developers decided to support it! UBlock Origin seems to be the only suggested add-on in a fresh install. Just tested it briefly, and it seems to work great.

  Where does it say it supports ublock? Is there a special build required? Going to AMO it says it's not compatible. edit: seems like you have to go through settings -> addons to install.
