There's also Kiwi. It runs pretty much any extension available for Desktop Chromium.
- Macha 4y agoThough once manifest v3 is the only option, it's hard to say that'll really be as effective as uBlock Origin on Firefox: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/uBlock-Origin-works-best-on-Firefox https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/uBlock-Origin-works-b...
- Zak 4y agoThat's an issue. I'm really puzzled my Mozilla's sudden aversion to an open repository of extensions on Android.
- Macha 4y agoYeah, me too. My best guess is that it's PM's who are overprotective of their idea of how it should work and feel they don't have to open the box as wide as on desktop. But 20 > 0, all the same.
- woojoo666 4y agoI think a lot of Firefox extensions are still broken on mobile. For example, I can't find a single tab manager / session manager that works on mobile
- Zak 4y agoUsers can only easily install extensions from the "recommended" collection. Installing anything else requires running a development build and jumping through hoops. The Firefox team has been very clear that simply developing a reasonable working extension that some people might want does not create an expectation it will ever be recommended. So why would anybody bother writing an extension for Firefox mobile?
- woojoo666 4y agoThere are already plenty of tab managers that work on desktop, and they shouldn't require a rewrite to work on mobile. I think Mozilla just hasn't finished making Firefox mobile support all the web extension APIs yet, so that's why they haven't opened the mobile app up for installing arbitrary extensions
