Microsoft Edge is setting up support for extensions on Android, though it might be a while before the functionality rolls out.

    If you figured out how to use good extensions, you’re probably on firefox anyways. The chrome extensions suck ass. Wtf is this privacy reader thing use Dark Background and Light Text. Most of them use adblock pro or something and not ublock. Chrome doesn’t even have good vertical tab extensions.

      Firefox for Android does not support extension that modify the GUI.

        Sadly, because tab management sucks ass in Android for Firefox… (A trade for using the best sane browser I guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)

            You can’t group tabs, my tab preview disappears for no reason, those are the main issues for me with FF official and beta.

              Oh OK. FWIW I don’t think I’ve lost any tabs on Fennec, but I might have changed something in settings.

              I like the way tabs look because I’ve never liked the idea of grouping tabs, but I understand people have different preferences

              This may be a blasphemy but this is the sole reason why Firefox is not my main mobile web app. For someone with :D tabs, grouping or tab management in general is mandatory.

      Personally, I’ve been asking for this for years. Very excited to see this mostly for ublock origin. But there are a few other extensions I use daily that I’d like to have available.

        Why use Edge tho? If you want a browser on Android with extensions, just use Firefox. In my humble opinion: M$ anything should be avoided (unless there are specific benefits or features).

          I used to. I used Firefox as my daily browser for about 10 years. Desktop use there really isn’t any significant difference, but I find the mobile experience for edge to be better.

          I check in on Firefox every six months or so, and while feature parity is mostly there, the way they implemented the features just don’t feel right? Like they’re kinda backwards sometimes? It’s hard to put into words, but they are different, and I prefer the way they function in edge.

            Gotcha. That does make sense to me. Its hard to verbalize, but Firefox does seem a bit clunkier than alternatives. Chrome on Android also runs buttery smooth. I’ll have to give Edge a try sometime. I try to keep an open mind, but I do gravitate towards open source (when it makes sense and works well).

    Who cares. If you have a shred of privacy awareness, you’d steer very clear from it.

    It’s nice to see another Android browser follow Mozilla’s steps and implement extensions. Though I strongly doubt Google is ever going to follow. Chrome not having extensions (or an ad blocker, at minimum with history and bookmark synchronization) on mobile is the main reason I don’t use it anywhere.
