I know this is a big thing regarding extension on mobile, is Kiwi browser totally opened to extensions too, or does it only have a selected extensions list available?
Anyway, having this without any hacky thingys is a big win.
Now i just wish they fix the stupid bug where my tab becomes unuseable, it happens randomly and i cant reproduce, only thing that helps is to close it and undo the closing.
I have had this happened to me before, I think it has something to do with Android closing the app because of needing more RAM, hence you go back to FF and find out a blank page or sometimes it is not even the correct tab lol, refreshing it won’t fix it thus you’d need to manually close, or force close the app to get it in a working state.
Also, I haven’t checked on mobile, but the PS Store website just crashes Firefox entirely in macOS lol, those kind of annoyances weren’t present in Chromium based browsers, and I can see this being a huge downside for most people, for me it is worth it because FF is so damn cool.
I honestly can’t wait for this to happen so I can finally get Flagfox on my phone. I likenbeing able to see where a website might be hosted, where the server is.
Yup, my android tablet is the only device I own (unless you count my smart tv) where I don’t use Firefox. At least there’s kiwi so you can have a tablet interface and still be able to install addons
Yeah, I use Samsung Internet on my tablet. Firefox on everything else, so I obviously miss the syncing, tab push and access to extensions with my tablet. I even put it up as an Idea on Mozilla Connect, where a lot of people seem to agree, but I don’t foresee Firefox ever addressing this. I think they’re buried under a mountain of back-end issues.
Nightly user here, does this mean I no longer need to do the song and dance of manually adding my addons list to the browser anymore? Guess I can finally switch to stable!
I am also using the same method and hoping the same thing. I doubt we will have to do the song and dance just because it is very much a developer feature test route and they have had extension functionality previously in the regular release.
Also looking forward to pulling back to stable build.
That’s not what they announced. Extensions marked as compatible with Android will be available and technical changes to the design of some extensions are recommended to ensure good results.
