The new open ecosystem of extensions on Firefox for Android launched in December with just over 400 extensions. Less than five months later we’ve surpassed 1,000 Firefox for Android extensions. That’s an impressive achievement by this developer community! It’s exciting to see so many developers embrace the opportunity to explore new creative possibilities for mobile browser customization.

What are some of your favorite new Firefox for Android extensions?

That moment when you’re stuck with safari because Apple said sideloading is dangerous 🙄

To their credit, Safari’s extension support on iOS is reasonably good. Not like Firefox good, but compared to chrome it’s excellent!

Ublock origin is the best

I do wish Mozilla would remove the proprietary parts of Firefox though

Hey Everyone, what are your favourite extensions (either already using or that you are excited to be able to use) and also whats a great example of a website that is most noticeably improved for each that extension?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

On android I'm pretty basic:

  • uBlock Origin
  • JShelter
  • LibRedirect
  • Dark Reader

On PC I'm using some more:

  • uGet integration
  • Video Download Manager (grabbing links for yt-dlp)
  • SideBerry
  • Bitwarden

and probably some others I forgot right now. I also try to not use to many addons

Good news, I have been using them on Mull since a while, quite useful

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

Was using Mull and now with Iceraven. Add-on support for both has been awesome.

That's cool but I only use a few on the mobile. Adblock origin and Bitwarden. Guess I should check out what else is out there.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I keep meaning to see if SponsorBlock works on mobile now.

Also, just to confirm in case anyone's curious: did you mean uBlock Origin?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago

Finally tried it, and stress-tested it with an LTT video. It works!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

I just installed a translation extension.

Consent o matic

I don't care about cookies

Bypass paywalls

And extensions to redirect reddit, Twitter, and tiktok Links to alternative frontends

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

not sure how well the first two are going to work together, given that the first one clicks through the banners to deny as many cookies as possible, while the second one blocks said banners from loading.

Is the bitwarden extension any different then just the app?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago

IMO not worth it unless you use a different password manager for stuff outside the browser.

That's one of the links I followed, to realize that I already had it.

Same. Just need the extensions to make mobile browsing usable.

I'm curious what the rest of the world needs.
