Solved Support Extensions
-
+1
I mostly care about Ublock Origin.
Firefox for android supports it. -
Browser extension support in the upcoming mobile version of Vivaldi for Android would be HUGE for me and potentially covers up short-comings like ad-blocking. Another side-effect of ad-blocking is performance improvements.
PLUS you would really make a splash as the only Blink-based browser that supports extensions (apart from the Yandex browser which is Blink based and has supported extensions for a while already).
I use Firefox as my mobile browser solely because of extension support like Privacy Badger.

@GoldNoway they should overall support WE as these are slightly less broken than Chromium ones, as for mobile everything flagged as "works on mobile" would be fine, but without supporting WE it would be just "install whatever and see what happens"

I use the Ublock Origin in Firefox Mobile, Firefox Mobile is for me the browser (Mobile) more fast.
The Blink browsers in mobile I think that it have a bad performance in comparison.Sorry for my bad english

If (when) adding support for (Chrome) extensions in Vivaldi Mobile, then please enhance the Sync system so that one can enable/disable or even better install/do-not-install extensions for mobile/desktop
-
So excited for the premiere of the Android beta! But unfortunately I simply can't switch from Firefox until there's adblock, so I eagerly await extension support.

@goldnoway it really depends on how they're building the app. I assume they are going to use chrome as a base to start on, so to me it makes sense to use the chrome Web store.
Kiwi Browser does this as well, so it already works there. Go, give that man a job at Vivaldi.
-
Something to note, Vivaldi Mobile is very obviously built on Chrome...and Chrome does not use extensions nor does it have an ad-blocker. So unless they do some further build-out away from that Chrome base....it might be a long time before extensions are a thing. I have seen other Chrome based browsers on Android with built in ad-blockers though...so that at least seems possible.
-
@jbaerbock Slight correction - Chromium, the open-source project, not Chrome, the proprietary browser.
-
@MrNoName My reference was not to extensions - merely to the source of the Vivaldi rendering engine.
-
I still have hope for it and I like how Kiwi have implemented it, but probably it'll require time.
In the meantime, I'll keep Kiwi&Opera as Vivaldi Android companion. -
Also need extensions, particularly to integrate LastPass!
-
@HyperPete I use Bitwarden and auto-filling passwords is working just fine without an extension. Does LastPass not provide the same functionality?
-
Japanese Staff @ahojo said "the reason Vivaldi don't have Extension is that Chromium don't support it". And "We know that many user hope to add Extension to Vivaldi. So, We are examining various approach."

Actually the only thing I need from mobile browser is to normally (without ruining the pages DOM) and less traffic usage. So the thing that helps to achieve that is ad blocker. For example Brave is way faster and less traffic hungry because they did native ad blocker. I know that ads are good for favorite websites to live, I always turn off ad blocker on the websites I want to support, but overall its a good tool to have, because web is full of crappy 5MB banners
So: there is not actually much need in full extensions support for mobile browser, but some built in functionality extension is probably welcomed, not just visual. -

... for you. On Firefox I've got 11 extensions installed, not counting themes.
-
I think the priority of most people here, including myself, is to have extensions that can strip off adds and other trackers. So if you can add this natively, like "Bromite browser" and other does, most people will not ask for full extension support.
-
Why don't start a poll and choose 3 or some more features to develop inside Vivaldi, instead of external addon? I say this because I read few posts ago that Chrome won't support extentions on Android...
-
fyi ,yandex browser had extensions and that browser based on chromium too. Hope the developer team use that to develop this feature.
