Solved Support Extensions
-
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) -
If they don't want to go down the full extension support route it would be nice to add a few you can choose from like Samsung Internet has (mostly adblockers Adguard works flawlessly on it) . So it shows it can be done. Personally I'd really like to have support for Dark Reader extension as I like my web pages Amoled Black as i have everything else totally black on my phone.
-
Once you allow one extension, it should be the same with the full catalogue.
If some don't work, it's not a problem at first.But, k:
- Violentmonkey
- Stylus
-
uBO obviously, but that won't work properly on chromium so...
-
I need a few essential extensions on mobile and without them I simply can't switch to Vivaldi desktop.
-
Vivaldi would by far be the best mobile browser on the market if it allowed extensions.
-
I just discovered today that UBO has an option to auto-reject cookie pop-ups.
A few glorious hours of browsing the web annoyance-free on my desktop. Now I'm in bed, on my phone, and back in cookie banner dark-pattern hell.
Vivaldi, I beg you.
-
If you have Vivaldi's Tracker and Ad Blocker enabled (Settings > Privacy), you can also enable two "Remove Cookie Warnings" lists from Manage Ad Blocking Sources.

Please add it

@jane-n Hey there. Wanted to ask if providing extensions support is really a cumbersome task. Though I am fully aware Vivaldi being a team of about 55-60 members making it difficult to maintain the tasks at hand while adding a complete new groundbreaking feature which tech giant backed up Edge itself hasn't been able to implement. But all that makes me even more baffled how a browser maintained by a small group of people taking Kiwi Browser into account here was able to pull that off (though I ain't sure about the size of the development team of Kiwi since not much data is available about them on the surface web atleast)
-
Ublock Origin on Vivaldi mobile would be awesome.

Keeping up with the Chromium updates is a challenge on its own. After some updates it takes a day or so to sort out the changes, after other updates it can take weeks. Then there's the usual feature development and bug fixes.
Adding support to extensions would introduce another extremely unpredictable component to the mix. -
I have migrated from Firefox for Android 68 (that no longer supports add-ons) to Kiwi Browser on December 2021.
Now 6 months later, the 2 extensions I need, Violentmonkey and Stylus, still run flawlessly, with all my user scripts and user styles!It might not worth the effort to develop extension support back to Firefox and new to Vivaldi.
I guess, people interested in extensions on mobile should just use Kiwi, where all the effort should be focused.
-
@jesus2099 yea the only downside of kiwi is it doesn't have a video downloader like opera
-
@ibay770 It's even far from being the only downside, it also lacks sync with Vivaldi Desktop and many other cool things I regret.
But I don't need video download (and I use NewPipe that incidentally can do that) but I need user scripts on mobile, above all the rest.

I'd have to think about paying to be able to utilize extensions on the android mobile version of vivaldi. Especially right now with the economy the way it currently is.
