        Yup, the idea here is that Firefox will also support many desktop extensions in addition to the small subset it supports right now (which is already cool since it includes uBlock Origin) and Mozilla is making that a big selling point (that and being a refuge from Google’s WEI).

    This is great news. I switched completely to Firefox earlier this year. The straw that broke the camel’s back for me was Chrome killing Manifest V2, which would break a lot of adblockers. Now that Mozilla is adding full extension support for mobile? I’m glad I switched.

    I don’t want to, but I’m thinking about switching to FF since Edge and Chrome have been having freezing issues for the past six months or so.

    Native ad blocking via extension would definitely help nudge me over. Especially since I’m considering getting a OnePlus Open and a web browser would be a vital part of the Foldable experience.

    I already have a few that I developed and use all the time. It’s just difficult to get them set up currently.

    For example I’ve developed a small Add-on which makes Android Firefox open PDF directly, just like the desktop browser does.

      If you mean the embedded pdf viewer: that exists in the android Version as well. I think they added it a few weeks ago.

        Ah. Didn’t know that. But they really limited functionality. I’ll give this a try to see if that’s all I need. Will continue to support my Add-on otherwise.
