Firefox on Android used to do this. I switched to Kiwi when they dropped it.

Been using Iceraven, although it only supports a handful of extensions such as dark reader and uBlock

This sounds huge! This may be a dumb question, but: do extensions on mobile require any special security tools that don't already exist?

I remember wanting to try out Firefox on Android but not being able to use it with Tampermonkey which was a real bummer. Better late than never, I guess?

One question on my mind is why it took so long. Is Android a harder platform to make extensions available on or something?

You can use tamper monkey now.

i hope mozilla is already working on an iOS version for the EU market ;)

This is the only reason why I keep using Safari on iOS. If Firefox can get extensions working for iOS I’ll switch over the day it’s available.

Awesome, I won’t need to switch to the desktop version just because I’m missing a few extension.

This guys are just amazing!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Awesome!

I also hope that someday mobile firefox has tagging functionality like on desktop (and tags are synch-able, like bookmarks)
