As an iOS user and long time Firefox user (never switched to chrome in my life) I feel jealous. But one can only hope that we too in the APPLE walled garden won't be left behind. Though I understand that it would be a long shot. :(

Firefox on iOS is just safari with a Firefox logo

The weird thing is Safari has extensions

[–] sir_reginald@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

you're buying the wrong phone. this is a limitation imposed only by apple, forcing every browser on iOS to be Safari re-skinned

Does this mean that the storage API will finally be available on mobile? At the moment this is probably my biggest annoyance since I have to manually transfer allow lists for various extensions across desktop and mobile.

[–] HulkSmashBurgers@reddthat.com 2 points 1 year ago

Awesome!

I also hope that someday mobile firefox has tagging functionality like on desktop (and tags are synch-able, like bookmarks)

[–] brlemworld@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

This is awesome!

Iceraven already has extensions so it's not the first.

[–] MichaelTen@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Kiwi already does

[–] Mubelotix@jlai.lu 2 points 1 year ago (5 children)

I've been using Kiwi browser for ages and it's had extension support the entire time since I quit using Firefox on mobile. I would still be using Firefox if it hadn't just kept randomly not loading pages anymore and requiring a restart, because it did at least support the one extension I can't live without; ublock origin, but the bugs were just too much. I might give Firefox mobile another shot when this new version hits stable release.
