Solved Support Extensions
-
This would be great. In case you don't know, Firefox and kiwi browsers has extension support on android browsers now. They should add this too.
-
@gkccom, Firefox 68.11.0 is the last version to have full extension support.
Current versions only support something like 8 or 9 extensions, and not the ones I need (Violentmonkey and Stylus).
-
Well I am using Firefox for Android 68.11.0 on my not so expensive phone: Android Xiaomi Redmi 7.
I have 12 extensions, including Violentmonkey, which itself is running 42 userscripts, several of which trigger background http requests.
And it's all very fast.
I didn't see a slow down compared with when I disable all this stuff.For playing video in the background and even when screen is off, I advise NewPipe.
-
I also desire to have this feature as other browser which is also based on Chromium has this feature. It would be great to implement this feature
Regards.
-
+1. Please add the feature.
-
Well, for what concern blocking ads I guess it would be better some app like Blokada.
I have installed uBlockOrigin too in my Kiwi and Firefox on Android but, even if uBO is an excellent addon, it works only inside the browser ambient while Blokada is system comprehensive though not perfect
-
@marko-indaco, yes, Blokada is a good app, but it should be mentioned that it is important to install it from the official website or from F-Droid, since the version on Google Play is a shortened version due to Google's restrictive regulations.
-
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.
