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
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?
You can use tamper monkey now.
Awesome, I won’t need to switch to the desktop version just because I’m missing a few extension.
This sounds huge! This may be a dumb question, but: do extensions on mobile require any special security tools that don't already exist?
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
i hope mozilla is already working on an iOS version for the EU market ;)
This is the only reason why I keep using Safari on iOS. If Firefox can get extensions working for iOS I’ll switch over the day it’s available.
it does rn, it's just a little more effort to get them but it's not hard
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.
Awesome!
I also hope that someday mobile firefox has tagging functionality like on desktop (and tags are synch-able, like bookmarks)
