I do find it funny when people talk about how few extensions are supported, when it has the best extension support of any mobile browser.
Like I get it, but still.
It used to be able to support all desktop addons but they for some reason took that away a while back
The reason was they completely rewrote the mobile browser.
I didn't know it was a mass rewrite, I just assumed they ruined the UI and features to "keep" up with mobile chrome, as most of these big tech companies do
