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

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

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.

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.

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

[–] 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?

it does rn, it's just a little more effort to get them but it's not hard

Any reason to switch from Fennec?

Wont Feddec support mobile extensions in the future?
