i wish firefox wasn’t neutered on ios
That one is on apple tho.
Hoping for more EU intervention on those tools.
Although I agree that Firefox should be freed on iOS, but should chrome?
A significant amount of browsers on iOS would probably move to blink/chromium the first chance they get(like they do on Android), which only serves to strengthen Google’s monopoly in the space.
The alternative would be … The EU rules that only webkit and Firefox are allowed on iOS…? That’s not happening, nor should it. (Fuck Google still though, I agree with your stance there)
Better than apple doing whatever the fuck they want. Imagine Microsoft would have only allowed IE based browsers on windows. We would still be in the IE days, because why put work into something when you can just force people to use it?
At least with chrome it is used because it is a pretty competent engine.
Genuine question, why stick to ios in that case? I can see a normie who is unaware of these stuff keep using apple since their use case isn’t that complex and apple gives a decent baseline.
But, ios legitimately sucks because it’s so restrictive and here your personal productivity is going down because of it.
I used Android and its variants for 10+ years. With each version you had to do more and more battle to somewhat safeguard any shed of privacy. It was exhausting.
So I bit the bullet and chose the lesser of two evils. Apple > Google.
Happy so far.
There is no lesser. 4 oz pile of blue shit is same as 4 oz pile of pink shit. Both the enshittification process will enshrine.
Google will crawl over broken glass to steal your data. Apple sells you overpriced shit. they are not the same
Apple doesn’t need to crawl over broken glass to steal your data when you just give it to them.
My man, you’re living in cuckoo land if you think Apple isn’t tracking you.
You cloud always use LineageOS or even better GrapheneOS. With Apple, you’re just trading one devil for another.
That doesn’t sound like it’s easier than buying an iPhone
It’s much more suited to the usecase.
Don’t worry, you guys will soon get sideloading. Hopefully someone ports it to iOS
Orion supports (some) Firefox extensions. Worth a look imo.

It’s the same/better as any browser app on Android, and even if that isn’t true your comment is still completely pointless and ignores what they said.
It’s here on Nightly. :)
Say no more fam
It’s been here for months :)
All extensions totally opened without any user requirements? AKA not hacky thingys with collections and such?

Now i just wish they fix the stupid bug where my tab becomes unuseable, it happens randomly and i cant reproduce, only thing that helps is to close it and undo the closing.
I have had this happened to me before, I think it has something to do with Android closing the app because of needing more RAM, hence you go back to FF and find out a blank page or sometimes it is not even the correct tab lol, refreshing it won’t fix it thus you’d need to manually close, or force close the app to get it in a working state.
Also, I haven’t checked on mobile, but the PS Store website just crashes Firefox entirely in macOS lol, those kind of annoyances weren’t present in Chromium based browsers, and I can see this being a huge downside for most people, for me it is worth it because FF is so damn cool.
Nightly user here, does this mean I no longer need to do the song and dance of manually adding my addons list to the browser anymore? Guess I can finally switch to stable!
I am also using the same method and hoping the same thing. I doubt we will have to do the song and dance just because it is very much a developer feature test route and they have had extension functionality previously in the regular release.
Also looking forward to pulling back to stable build.
Do I need to install mobile-specific add-ons or will the ones I have on desktop sync across?
I don’t know if they’ll sync, but you’ll be able to install all add-ons available on desktop (possibly minus the Firefox themes)
That’s not what they announced. Extensions marked as compatible with Android will be available and technical changes to the design of some extensions are recommended to ensure good results.
What are some good extensions for Firefox? I got the standard ad-block but I don’t know what else is out there.
Ublock origin
Search by image
web archives (for when you hit a paywall)
old reddit redirect (so you don’t get stuck on the broken mobile site)
Dark Reader. Make sure to set the background color to pure black (#000000)
Also a password manager like Bitwarden
Privacy Redirect is no longer maintained. Use LibRedirect instead.
I honestly can’t wait for this to happen so I can finally get Flagfox on my phone. I likenbeing able to see where a website might be hosted, where the server is.
Holy shit that’s huge. They already had extensions but very limited compared to the PC version.
I’m glad to hear it, this will make the mobile version much more usable.

It is very late for this addition, I stopped being frustrated about it years ago and just switched browser.
Are you now using a mobile browser with extension support?
