Keep em coming. Extensions are what makes FF the best browser.

"Now" = since December 14th, the day this post was published.

I like that they're opening it up, but I don't see any "must have" extensions beyond what I already have.

Sponsor block and just use YouTube in the browser instead of the app

You can install newpipe and libretube. Why bother with their crappy website? It's not ios

What's the advantage over newpipe since it's a fork of that?

For the recommendation algorithm. I also use Grayjay but it's just the videos from your subscriptions in reverse order of when they were released.

For the recommendation algorithm. See my other comment

return dislike and ublock wile you're at it, but why not use revanced?

Anybody have any news on Firefox inbuilt translations? It would be fantastic if it made its way to android

[–] ExLisper@linux.community 6 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Any recommendations? I had all the extensions I needed for some time now. Maybe except cookie autodelete. Should I install cookie autodelete or with the 3rd party cookies disabled it's not really needed?

[–] Flaky@iusearchlinux.fyi 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Consent-o-Matic for automating most of the cookie popups.

It's a godsend and apparently installable in mobile Firefox, though not searchable or shown as available in the list of mobile extensions

I use CAD because I don't want to stay logged into amazon/chewy/target etc., when I am just browsing the product.

Personally, I only use CAD, ublock, and cleanURL. The more extensions you have, especially obscure ones, the easier you are to fingerprint.

Still waiting for this to make it to Mull...

[–] miss_brainfart@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 years ago

It's been there for me since the whole thing started

[–] Undertaker@feddit.de 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Was one or two weeks ago done. I already can install additional extensions. Check for updates

[–] SatyrSack@lemmy.one 4 points 2 years ago

I was waiting for the Add-Ons screen to look like Iceraven's, but I see I can just install from https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/android/ now!

[–] baseless_discourse@mander.xyz 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

You can, mull disable extension by default to avoid fingerprinting. You just need to enable it.

Go to about:config and change privacy.resistFingerprinting.block_mozAddonManager to false.

See: https://divestos.org/pages/broken#mull

EDIT: it seems like it is changed to false by default in recent update.

I have tried to use Firefox on mobile for specifically this reason. Kept using for 2 weeks and just gave up because browsing experience was super laggy on S23 Ultra even with noscript (e.g. Framework laptop website). Switched to Cromite. I don't think I'm coming back to Firefox unless they do something about user experience and smoothness first, no matter the extensions count.

[–] baseless_discourse@mander.xyz 12 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Curious, my Mull on GrapheneOS runs fine with extensions. I have CAD, cleanURL, and ublock enabled. I have tried Decentraleyes enabled or not enabled, both works fine on frameork's front page.

Maybe you want to disable some extensions an try again?
