Solved Support Extensions

Deyirn

@lonm Chrome never supported extensions on mobile.
And always been quite heavy on cpu/ram on my phone, like Firefox (even without extensions).
But most useful extensions may actually work on android.

Hmm, that's strange. Kiwi browser is a Chrome fork on Android, even in the Play Store and last time I checked, it allows you to install Chrome extensions as if you were on desktop.

Right now Kiwi is the only mobile browser for me that is worth using.

@Deyirn Yeah, I said that in a later post

@callionifabio The posts were deleted as they were getting incredibly off topic. This topic is about supporting extensions on android.

Definitely need extensions. If I could install Dark Reader and uBlock then Vivaldi would be the only browser I need on mobile.

For me it would be very helpful to have 'Vanilla-Chrome' available to manage cookies. I use it with the desktop Vivaldi.
Is there another option to manage, delete cookies on Vivaldi for Android?

Ublock Origin

I can only agree to that! A support of extensions for Vivaldi Android, especially for bloockers, would be very desirable and would make the browser much more attractive.

Instead of admitting extensions, it would be enough to be able to import the corresponding uBlock and nano filters, all available on github. That would not be necessary go through the Chrome Store.
I use Kiwi as a second browser, which supports Chrome extensions, but installing them there is quite messy on a mobile.

This topic is specifically about extensions, though.
Extensions also include things powerful like user script engines (Violent/Tamper/Grease monkey), not only blockers.

In Firefox for Android, for instance, it is not messy.

But the problem with Vivaldi for Android is probably indeed the fact that Chrome browser and store have no support for mobile.

@jesus2099 , Kiwi is also Chromium based.Well, perhaps this is why Chromium Android does not have support in the Chrome Store, there are only alternatives to have an own app store or to use github scripts

As Brave is open-source - if they do it, every Chromium browser can benefit, including Vivaldi.
So right now it might be wiser for Vivaldi to focus on other things to improve in the mobile browser.

Yandex browser supports Chrome extensions too so it's not impossible to do it with Vivaldi too.

I would suggest adding support for userscripts.

It would be great if userscripts were implemented, if they work with PWAs as well. I've been using one recently on desktop and it would be fantastic to have it on mobile as well.

Dr.Flay

The main reason I use FF mobile is because there is a working userscript extension.
With that I have a wide selection of extension replacements I can use.

m.e.

Extensions are a must for me because of uBlock origin.

ethernetguru

I would like to see support for extensions like Violenmonkey or uBlock.
