Only 11 years after the competition! Courage

  This comment makes no sense. The competition is mobile Chrome, which has no extensions, and mobile Firefox, which has only a limited number of chosen extensions. Literally from the linked article: > For the past few years Firefox for Android officially supported a small subset of extensions If you're referring to desktop, on the other hand, Safari has had extensions since 2010.

    Firefox Android had broader extension support before it was temporarily restricted, in response to an architecture shift. Still, there has been an addon capability for many years before Safari mobile saw any.

      3 years is "temporarily"? https://blog.mozilla.org/en/products/firefox/introducing-a-new-firefox-for-android-experience/ https://blog.mozilla.org/en/products/firefox/introducing-a-n... And again, mobile Chrome, a much bigger competitor than Firefox, has no extensions.

        My point was that Safari iOS lagged behind the competition. Firefox was and remains a viable alternative, despite the anticompetitive measures that ensure Chrome's dominance. 3 years is a long time, yet for the impatient there is an escape hatch. I've been using it for years to get more add-ons into my Firefox install. And there were some extensions available during that period, which is more than none. Mozilla has been offering more choice and customization than a trillion dollar competitor for over a decade, and for some cases still does.
