Chrome on Android does not support extensions at all. It's still the biggest mobile browser. Sure, it will make a lot of technical people mad, but a lot more won't care.
- TheLoafOfBread 3y agoBrave and Firefox on Android blocks ads just fine.
- LinuxBender 3y agoSadly I suspect that may change. Manifest v3 was added to FF in 109 which is why I am on ESR and will probably stay on it as long as I can. Mozilla get funding from Google and that could potentially come with the price of blocking ad-blockers using manifest v3 at some point.
- ylyn 3y agoAFAIK FF manifest v3 will maintain the webRequest interface.
- johnny22 3y agothey've explicitly said it won't. If somehow that ever changes you'll see huge news about it.
- fwn 3y agoWe've always said the same thing about the Firefox for Android extension ecosystem. Despite Mozilla's explicit denial of the intention to kill extensions on Android, there is an allow list that effectively bans almost all extensions on Android. There is no justification for this; extensions work just fine on Firefox for Android, which can be tested using the nightly and jumping through a few artificial hoops. tl;dr: There's little evidence that there will be any big news once adblockers get finally axed on Firefox.
- est31 3y agoGreat but they barely have market share. People apparently don't care enough about blocking ads.
