So, aside from the ad block everyone loves and I don’t have the characters to type, what do we recommend?
Sponsor block for youtube works great, grease monkey for scripts, too

Consent-O-Matic (has to be downloaded from the main website, and not the android sub category)
And what you wish to have other than that depends on your needs.
I myself have an extension to unlock Bing AI on Firefox android.
Google Search Fixer (for when I need a Google service)
TWP - Translate Web Pages
And more.
Web archives Bypass Paywalls Clean ClearURL View Page Source (I’m seriously surprised it’s not a basic feature.)
Redirect AMP to HTML if you hate amp like me
tampermonkey
I heard violentmonkey was an opensource alternative to that.
A bit niche, but I love Shinigami Eye. It highlights trans-friendly sites and profiles in green and transphobic ones in red.
Dark reader
Dark reader was already available before this.
Dark reader is amazing but I have seen a noticeable impact on page load times from time to time.
Not only load time, some sites have really bad performance with it, i just stop using the handful i’ve come across.
Not having dark mode implemented and having trash code is a good reason to stop being used.
CanvasBlocker.

Now do iOS. (Yes I know Apple has to release their stranglehold on the browser first.)
Yeah that’s never gonna happen, unless the EU forces them by law.
One of the many reasons I’m so so happy to be back with an Android phone after having to use an iPhone for work for a few years
The Eu has forced them: Digital Markets Act --> alternative app stores.
But browsers aren’t app stores?
Just put the browser in an alternative app store then 😎
Where do you install browsers from?
On iOS? I don’t. I guess it shows.
I thought the EU already forced them under the Digital Markets Act to allow alternative browser engines outside of Webkit on iOS.
Likely will happen whenever Apple starts to allow sideloading, probably next year at around March.

iirc apple doesn’t allow apps that are able to download and run extra code. I know this was the reason the game mindustry didn’t have mod support on iOS. I could be wrong tho

WebKit browser, on iOS, with (most) Firefox and Chrome extensions possible.
Y’all are welcome :D (also @AllYourSmurf)
Kagi again! Those folks are good to us
This is a stupid argument. I have seen Orion browser support BOTH Firefox and chrome extensions right now so why cant Firefox do own extensions?
Idk why you’re being downvoted. I’ve tried Orion browser and it really does work. I assumed extensions like that would go against Apple’s App Store policies but they’ve seemed to make it works so far.
I don’t think there’s Firefox on iOS because it would have to be Safari.
There is Firefox for iOS. It uses WebKit like every other browser.

a long-overdue and very welcome addition to mobile.
Bah, no sign of “Save webP as PNG or JPEG” yet.
what’s wrong with webp? it’s a significantly more efficient file format (like 20% less file size for the same quality) and is supported everywhere by now. if anything, the default should be webp for image types that can be both lossy and losslessly compressed
Lots of platforms, even image editing don’t support webp
I haven’t come across a single image or video editor that doesn’t support webp nowadays. I use paint.net, krita, aseprite, inkscape, ibis paint x, opentoonz, and davinci resolve, plus libreoffice if you count that, they all support importing/exporting and editing webp just as any other image file format. I’m pretty sure GIMP and Photoshop do too but I don’t use them so I can’t say for sure
I feel like a majority of people have to go out of their way to make webp an inconvenience in the modern day.
Besides, if it for some reason doesn’t work in a specific situation you need it you can just manually change the extension to “.jpeg” or “.png” and Windows/Linux/Android file managers will automatically convert it. But I can guess most people don’t actually face a situation like that.

Thank you for the suggestion, but that’s not how it works. Changing a file’s extension doesn’t change the file type; it just changes the name.
When I take an image file and change its extension from webp to png it converts the binary data, so I imagine your OS’ default file manager would do that too. Maybe not tho.
What OS & version are you using that automatically converts file types when you change the filename via the default file manager interface? I have never heard of this function before.
Some file managers on linux can do this, but it’s definitely not a default on most.
GIMP supports WebP now.
Surprisingly not everywhere yet, some messaging apps don’t support webp yet
Writing from a privacy perspective remember, browser add-ons can potentially make it easier to fingerprint or recognize an individual. But still, I can’t help but love this new FF feature.
Remember to use containers for everything
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/multi-account-containers/
This is not available on Android yet right ?

That’s unfortunate
Also you can put the url bar on the bottom 😍
That’s not new, though.
Wish you could do it in Firefox Focus.
That’s possible for quite some years, good that you’ve found it though.
Isn’t that the default location when you first install? I remember always having to move it back to the top where it belongs.
I guess time to switch to Android!
over 450 add-ons
But no Cookie AutoDelete among them. Firefox Nightly is still better
This is on mobile?
Do desktops normally have that screen ratio?
Not with that attitude!
Gently rotates monitor and increases zoom level to 400%
Removed by mod
It could be desktop
It is, but only if you go on the main website, and not the android sub category https://addons.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/addon/cookie-autodelete/
But then that is for desktop Firefox, not mobile. Right?
It will allow you to add it to mobile firefox it seems, maybe it just didn’t get categorized correctly?
And yet still no tablet support 😭
what? i run it on my tab a7.
Yes as a bloated phone UI. It doesn’t support tabs which almost every other browser does.
Of course it can run in a tablet but it’s not a great use experience
it never occurred to me that I might want a different UI on my tablet. I also never used Chrome or any other browser on my tablet.

this is my first android tablet. my first “internet tablet” was the n810, and i did’nt get an android until around 2018, unless you count the blackberry q20
My tablet is my laptop replacement so I tend to use it on the same way with a mouse and keyboard and want AC close to laptop functionality as possible, pretty much all other browsers have that functionality, except firefox.
Iceraven has it
Hail to the king, baby
