Solved Support Extensions
-
adblockers, metamask, password managers. All extremely valuable extensions that work on Kiwi. Opera has some of this built in, I believe, on a mobile version. Time to step up, Vivaldi. Go for baroque!
-
And yet, 2 years later, still no extension support in sight.
At least, i hope vivaldi support custom filter rule -
@marko-indaco working inside the browser gives it a huge advantage as it knows the context and can affect transferred data without certificate issues, though the chromium variant is incomplete due to API limitations which would have to be solved to make it relevant
though honestly proper content blocker is a core feature that ideally would be supported natively -
I tried using Kiwi for a while but, the complete lack of ANY sync feature at all, and how ublock crashes when i try to highlight text from my filters to edit them, make it unusable. I'll be staying with a Firefox fork as those have sync, (limited, but ublock is there) extensions AND doesn't crash. Ads aren't the only thing that make mobile internet unusable, there are so many annoyances that make the use of a content blocker a must.

@lonm I support this +1
-
@lonm +1 upvote, I hoping to get Ublock Origin and Canvas Blocker to work in Android. That's the only thing that keep me away from the browsers. If they do, I would permanently moved to Vivaldi in every devices I had(from Firefox)
-
@akasm I agree a content blocker is important right now, especially ublock origin with advanced mode. That is why after using Vivaldi mobile for a while, I now use Kiwi. For sync, I use the extension Floccus (open source) !

Vivaldi Team plz introduce extension support in 2022 for android version browser and create history trust me guys you will become the only chromium based browser to have all the 3 :
- translate
- sync
- extension
You guys will rule the browser market in entire Android world. You will have so many users that you would have to buy new server arena for accomodating them.
Do this guys plz.
Happy New Year

For those like me who are stuck on Firefox 68.11.0 for the add-on support.
I tried and kept Kiwi Browser that can handle Chrome extensions.
I have been using it for a few weeks now with Violentmonkey and around 70 user scripts, including some that should slow down the device or overflow its memory by loading tons of stuff.
Well, it's as fast as Firefox 68.11.0, it's running without lags, without problems, I keep it now.
The main feature it lacks for me is custom searches, though.
A pity as I used them for all my searches on Firefox. I lose much time not, each search takes several steps, using duckduckgo !bangs, which are less custom, not maintained and less immediate. -
@jesus2099 Wth Firefox 68?! You just use compromised security browser. I don't think there people stuck on Firefox 68.11.0 for addons cus there already one and it's up-to-date.
You can get the addons in up-to-date Firefox fork browsers like Fennec or the hardened browser, Mull.

@swiftypop No I just said I migrated from Firefox for Android 68.11.0 to Kiwi Browser, in order to keep the userscript add-on / extension.
-
Vivaldi Mobile is a fantastic browser, but its content blocker is not functional enough. I'd like to see ublock origin and few others as supported extensions in android.
-
Just here to echo that this is by far my top requested feature. Kiwi is the only other browser I use on my phone for this reason, and if this was added here I would move to only Vivaldi In a Heartbeat.
-
whoa! almost 450 votes. Will we get this before it reaches 500? Hoping we do.

Eklenti desteğinin olmaması tarayıcının en önemli eksiği
-
@lonm Would love extension support. Major feature that is missing on Android. Kiwi browser is a perfect example of an Android browser that supports chrome extensions.
-
I've used the kiwi browser before, and while it does seemingly provide support for play store extensions, I've found that a lot of them don't seem to function as you might expect them to.
-
I've been using it with Violent monkey and Stylus for months without problems.
And with loads of huge userscripts, even. -
I haven't even brought up the subject of bringing extension support to the browser for quite a while now. I'm thinking that the development team doesn't think it's very high up on the priority list.
-
well, there is one big issue here being, as usually, chromium...
chromium extensions API is even worse than WebExtensions and Manifest v3 will break a lot of things even more, especially (but not limited to) content blockers (that are already very limited on chromium based browsers)
