Additionally, Firefox has the recommended extensions program where they take the most popular/functional subset of extensios in a given category and manually vet the code for security and privacy issues.

I built my own extension to subscibe to Hacker News comments and get automatic updates when they are updated.

It works perfectly on Firefox for Android and desktop Android.

Firefox is so awesome, don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

And uBlock Origin works best on Firefox.

I really wish it would support them for iOS as well.

It’s very hard given the constraints, but apparently not impossible, since Orion manages to run at least some web extensions.

Kagi browser on iOS somehow supports both Firefox and Chrome extensions

Orion is Kagi's browser :)

Yes, I'm very impressed by their extension support!

I recently found out that on Firefox Android you can install an extension from file by activating developer options. This allows you to install Bypass Paywalls Clean even though Mozilla sadly pulled it from the extension store.

Seems less sketchy to use uBlock Origin with bypass-paywalls-clean-filters... at least then you're not directly adding executable code, though I'm not sure if uBO filter lists can be exploited.

Cool! I didn't know that was an option.

That's nice, but everybody already knew that and no one cares about Firefox, terrible browser
