What about Kiwi and Iceraven (Iceraven is a Firefox fork which has more extensions)

I've been using the nightly build, using the desktop extensions for a while now. It's SO worth it. In particular, the YouTube "SponsorBlock" is super convenient.

It has been for years, no? Or was it mobile-tagged extensions?

I use Firefox and on my android tablet but I dont on my iphone since apple doesn't allow extensions on third party browsers. Its so annoying

[–] jamms@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Firefox on Android used to do this. I switched to Kiwi when they dropped it.

Been using Iceraven, although it only supports a handful of extensions such as dark reader and uBlock

[–] Popsip@pawb.social 4 points 1 year ago

Awesome, I won’t need to switch to the desktop version just because I’m missing a few extension.

Maybe I'll stop using Brave. Sounds cool af

[–] Leminator@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

This sounds huge! This may be a dumb question, but: do extensions on mobile require any special security tools that don't already exist?

[–] nortorc@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I remember wanting to try out Firefox on Android but not being able to use it with Tampermonkey which was a real bummer. Better late than never, I guess?

One question on my mind is why it took so long. Is Android a harder platform to make extensions available on or something?

[–] Clusterfck@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 1 year ago

It did support extensions until they basically redesigned the app from the ground up a few years back. They said they'd focus on stability first then move on from there.
