I don't get how the EU is not in arms about this. How is Apple able to get away with offering various browsers in the Store, when in the End they all are the Safari-Backend and therefore do not allow for competition in this ecosystem? How can a competitor stand out with a remarkable/better product, when he is not allowed to use his own engine? Or in this case: Prohibiting user from using Extensions like uBlock? Firefox is only a shell of their original performance when castrated by apples webview engine.
The EU is up in arms and the browser question is going to be handled through the DMA. The legal process has been going on since the summer and it's hilarious.
Apple argues 'Look, those Safaris on iOS, iPadOS, MacOS, TvOS, WatchOS are TOTALLY DIFFERENT PRODUCTS and none of them have enough users in the EU for you to even think about regulating us, alright? We’re a tiny startup! Will nobody think of the children?!?' (I paraphrase somewhat)."
lol
And their ads literally say "Same Safari Different Device".
Ive been waiting for this day ever since Apple announced that you wouldn't be able to install any software you want on your own piece of hardware. I'm glad that someone has finally started cracking down on this. Just wish it had happened 15 years earlier.

It helps that Apple doesn't have such a huge marketshare here.
uBlock is already available on Firefox mobile as well as Tampermonkey, I'm not hating but what other extensions should I be excited to try? At the moment that's all I need to use.
What are you going to install?
Consentomatic is the only other one I can think of, cookie popups are so much worse on mobile
I think there's a filter for cookie popups in uBlock. I'm still using the I still don't care about cookies extension tho.
The "annoyances" filters in ublock stop the cookie popups
I don't want to just block them though, I want to deny cookie use automatically and hide the popup
You haven't consented to cookies until you click agree, so there shouldn't be any difference if the website is GDPR compliant.

This single extension is why I'm excited for it myself.
I would like to install the bring back youtube dislike extension. Otherwise I'm happy with what I have already
Midnight Lizard, it's better than Dark Reader. Skip Redirect is also pretty handy to fast-forward those pesky url shorter page redirections.
What about it is better?
The main benefit is that it's lightweight and doesn't have some of the performance issues that Dark Reader has. Also, if has a bunch of different themes (so you can have more color schemes, similar to any modern text editor), finally you can also create your own theme for a particular site, if the built-in themes don't look good.
Sounds good to me, I'll give it a try!

Is there a more updated fork that you use? The last update for Midnight Lizard was ~3 years ago.
The current one works fine for me, haven't really had any issues. There is an updated fork on Github, but they haven't made a release yet (and they haven't changed/fixed anything major yet).
It's available on Nightly.
Privacy badger/possum were welcome sights for me personally.

It's about time. With Google being more and more hostile to AdBlocker on mobile, having Firefox taking an open approach to extension is welcomed.
Ublock origin was long available on Android
Been using Firefox Android for quite some time already. It's been my perfect browser pretty much. I'm glad more extensions are coming, so others can enjoy it as well, but I'm happy with just Dark Reader + uBlock Origin lol.
I've been using extensions on the Nightly build and love it.
What about the missing about:config feature ? :/
Let's make an extension for that!

Still no site isolation right?

Good step forward, but this will again flood people with duplicate extensions, useless adblockers, or even harmful ones. And there are quite a lot, even on AMO
I mean...... it's not like the app stores are any better.

Hope there's one that can let me control the browser media player by double tap, it's quite annoying feature that's lacking
That t-shirt would be cool, but don't have time to properly test our extension before then
I'm looking forward to December when I'll have time to work on it. I'll try to attend some office hours, I didn't know that was an option
After the latest update of Iceraven browser (a fork of Firefox Mobile), it now allows to load add-ons offline as well as some browser addons directly from Firefox addons site.
iceraven becoming more pointless

Might help me move to Firefox eventually now that there's more than just the few from before. Not many things keeping me back compared to before.
I'd like to see LibRedirect ported!
