How are developers going to update them for mobile when they arent even maintined for desktop?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

They don't need to be updated to make good test subjects. From the post:

They were compiled because they possess a combination of Android API compatibility and relative popularity on Firefox desktop.

This seems awesome and all, but I can't install any of the add-on on my Firefox Beta. The add-on site says I need a newer version of Firefox.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Same. Ive got ff 118 and tried to install 'i dont care about cookies' and get that message.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

You need 119 beta or 120 nightly

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

IPvFoo (my extension) is still useless on Android.
The call to chrome.permissions.request({origins: [ALL_URLS]}); doesn't do anything.

I'll try asking on the new forum.

Thank for sharing OP, I just installed Firefox Nightly and it worked, although is not very intuitive.

(I installed Browsec)

no jshelter yet 😔

jShelter does work on Firefox Android, so hopefully they add it.

I tried it with Smart Cookie Web Preview and it was fine

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Iinteresting. Does that browser satisfy your needs or did you just use it for testing? Itseems severely outdated.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

It is irregularly maintained, so I only use it for testing, except for the occasions when it is current.

I really like that you can add any extension, it may not work, but you can try. The bottom nav and toolbar (optional) are great. Pull out tabs, etc. I love the features it has.

In my perfect world, Mull my usual browser, and SCWP would be integrated.

It seems to be a side project for the developer, they also do a webview (smart cookie web) with a lot of nice features and customization.

And they were running their own Searx instance.

They seem to like trying out new features, for instance, they were the first browser I saw that had an 'Amp to HTML' to de-amp links.

So not my daily driver, but nice to play with.

Should also add LocalCDN.
