Didn't their pre-version 79 app already support extensions?

[-] Gestrid@lemmy.ca 17 points 2 years ago

I don't know about pre-79, but their current version supports a very, very limited selection of extensions, many of which are to specifically improve the mobile version of Firefox. Currently, only a total of 22 extensions are supported, many of which share the same purposes.

I mean, ad blocking is like 95% of the reason why I want extensions.

And the other 5% is blocking all those stupid consent popups.

[-] Gestrid@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago

They actually have at least four adblockers available in mobile Firefox on Android: uBlock Origin, AdGuard AdBlocker, Ghostery, and AdNauseum.

yeah I'm actually disappointed when they stop doing that

Is still does, experimentally, if you enable developer settings, rather unintuitively through a Firefox Add-Ons account. Developer settings are not available in the official release but the Nightly builds as well as some forks, like 🦊Fennec, include them.
