I use Firefox and on my android tablet but I dont on my iphone since apple doesn't allow extensions on third party browsers. Its so annoying

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

[–] Popsip@pawb.social 4 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Leminator@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

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

[–] nortorc@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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?

[–] 1ird@notyour.rodeo 3 points 2 years ago

You can use tamper monkey now.

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

[–] aquarisces@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.
