TuxGoogle Chrome’s uBlock Origin phaseout has begun | If you have uBlock Origin, you might notice Chrome automatically disabling the extension.
kratoz29I feel like I have seen this news since forever, I am happily living my life with Firefox… Although the android mobile really needs some love.
vonbaronhansOh man. Once Firefox on Android got extension support, I hopped on that train so hard. No ads on mobile browser? Heck yeah.
It has extensions support for like 6 years at this point. Unless you got some extreme obscure extensions
Huh. I was under the impression that proper extension support (eg ublock origin) only came about recently?
YerboutiBeen working for a lomg time now.
Well then. I’m unsure what news article I read that spurred me to try Firefox on mobile, but that’s my recollection of the order of events.
JohnEdwaYou are correct in the proper extension support part. Until recently FF Android only supported a handful of selected addons made specifically for it.
uBlock Origin however has been one of those for almost a decade now.

There were a few years when only a handful were supported. Before that it was as open as now, leaving compatibility responsibility to the extension developers.
