It sounds like they intentionally under-provisioned you all to draw it out, which isn't surprising given their biggest source of funding is Google, and the last thing Google wants is ad/tracker blocking, privacy extensions, and, well, a major reason for people to set their default browser to 'not chrome'.
Lord knows there's enough money floating around that place.
What a shame - but thank you. Hopefully plugins come to Firefox for iOS some time.

- rightbyte 3y agoThat could be a power struggle. I.e. some Google loyal PM sabotaged the extension feature, but quoting the poster above, the devs worked around it by doing a partial implementation to support adblockers, foiling the plan :)

- account42 3y agoMight not be exactly what you are looking for but I use an extenstion [0] to open videos in an external video player (mpv). That way the controls are consistend and playback does not depend on where I browse. mpv uses youtube-dl (or yt-dlp) to fetch the stream URLs and that supports many sites.
