Are you a developer? If not then the only thing you need to know is that Mozilla is essentially announcing enabling desktop extensions to be able to work on mobile

Sick! I just switched to Firefox nightly so I can use ublacklist on mobile.

I've used Firefox Nightly for ages, and admittedly, it sometimes lets a crashing bug through. But it was worth it for stuff like old.reddit redirect on tablet, lol. I just don't want the stupid "USE OUR APP" banners while searching.

That's awesome. I wish I knew about that years ago.

It's an extension that allows you to blacklist certain websites from appearing in search results. So if you wanna prevent for instance facebook links from showing up in search results, uBlacklist can make that possible.

Oh good, now I can do an image search without completely useless Pinterest results

And it's available on Firefox mobile (soon) and it's freaking amazing on mobile.
