Was just about to post this!
I'm so excited for a free ecosystem again. But I'm wondering about this "android compatible" thing. I would like to be able to install any extension, marked compatible or not. Who decides whether or not an extension is compatible? The developer?
It's surprising that only 400 of the countless add ons on the repository will be available.
- cpeterso 3y agoThe extension developer decides whether to mark their own extension as Android compatible. Mozilla doesn’t want a lot of users to install extensions that were never tested on Android. The users would have a bad experience and developers of incompatible extensions would face bug reports before they’ve had time to test and fix their extension’s bugs themselves.
