It took them SO LONG to get back to this point. They gutted the extensions with the redesign a while back. Only allowed approved extensions(which I understand since a lot of desktop extension ui just doesnt work on android and many extensions are broken), but then they kinda just stopped. They added a convoluted method of creating an account and whitelisting extensions on the account if you use nightly, but it was a hassle to use and it’s been years since even that was introduced.
And I mean, for normies it might be OK, but why not add a toggle that allows me to install whatever I want. If they don’t work I’ll just have to uninstall the again. It’s not like it’s gonna break my browser
That’s great news! Hopefully they can get the same done on iOS.
Firefox on iOS is not even the same engine, it’s WebKit. Skinned Safari.
This is great but I literally can’t use the base app on my S20. Like clicking on Google search hits causes the app to freeze. Trying to scroll up on a page triggers a reload 30% of the time. I want to use Firefox but it’s nowhere near good enough, and adding extensions on top of that state is not going to help.
Do you have the “Google Search Fixer” add-on? If so, it’s a known issue. Until it’s fixed, do not click any images on the first page, only after changing to the “images” category.
