The new open ecosystem of extensions on Firefox for Android launched in December with just over 400 extensions. Less than five months later we’ve surpassed 1,000 Firefox for Android extensions. That’s an impressive achievement by this developer community! It’s exciting to see so many developers embrace the opportunity to explore new creative possibilities for mobile browser customization.
What are some of your favorite new Firefox for Android extensions?
That’s cool but I only use a few on the mobile. Adblock origin and Bitwarden. Guess I should check out what else is out there.
https://addons.mozilla.org/android/addon/amp2html/ is another one especially useful on mobile.
That’s one of the links I followed, to realize that I already had it.
DarkReader and PrivacyBadger are useful too.
Is the bitwarden extension any different then just the app?
IMO not worth it unless you use a different password manager for stuff outside the browser.
I keep meaning to see if SponsorBlock works on mobile now.
Also, just to confirm in case anyone’s curious: did you mean uBlock Origin?
Finally tried it, and stress-tested it with an LTT video. It works!
Same. Just need the extensions to make mobile browsing usable.
I’m curious what the rest of the world needs.
I use sponsorblock and just use YouTube through the browser instead of the app
Consent o matic
I don’t care about cookies
Bypass paywalls
And extensions to redirect reddit, Twitter, and tiktok Links to alternative frontends
Is there a working alternative frontend for Twitter? I haven’t visited the site since the public instances of Nitter I used went down
not sure how well the first two are going to work together, given that the first one clicks through the banners to deny as many cookies as possible, while the second one blocks said banners from loading.
Sometimes I find redundant extensions beneficial when neither captures 100%. It’s a bit like the “swiss cheese” model of security. The main thing I’m after is reducing annoyances, so it doesn’t matter to me if they’re blocked or denied, so long as I don’t have to see the banners.
