Alright, so what extensions are you guys looking forward to? On mobile I don't think about it too much cause most of the websites I use on Desktop I use as apps on Android, so a couple of website specific extensions are useless for me

[–] longdarkfantasy@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Redirect amp to html, search by image, clear urls, localCDN, web archives, tampermonkey etc.🫡 So many useful extensions.

@ChristianWS I use ublock origin and dark reader. Sincerely I don't miss anything else. Maybe would be good add Clean URLs to remove trackers from URLs, other than that I wouldn't mind.

PS: Dahora ver mais um usuário do eco.br aqui!

This is seriously cool. I've been waiting for this for a while.

Does this mean that I'll be able to get temporary containers on Firefox Android?

[–] Knusper@feddit.de 4 points 1 year ago

That extension requires rather deep integration into the UI, which I don't think is possible for Android extensions. So, I doubt, it will become available...

Finally! Been using ancient version due to the addon crap they pulled in the past

Kiwi Browser has been able to use a good majority of the Chrome extension repertoire already though

Please please please don't' bring MV3 to Firefox for Android, Mozilla. 🤞

[–] that_leaflet@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Why not? Mozilla already fixed the biggest issue plaguing MV3 by continuing to allow MV2 ad blockers.

[–] mojo@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

They are, since there are definitely benefits and makes migration easier, but they are also allowing the support needed for adblockers to be just as strong as they are now. So it keeps the benefits while also keeping adblockers strong like right now.

https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2021/05/27/manifest-v3-update/

The issue is that Chrome is trying to replace webRequest.BlockingResponse which is essential for content blockers, which Mozilla is pointing out and keeping supported.

MV3 existing isn't a problem. MV2 deprecation is.
