Solved Support Extensions
-
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 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.
-
Having extensions for vivaldi android would make it really unique
-
Hi,
I'm currently using my android phone to type this reply, I'm frustrated that there isn't any kind of setting / option to prevent videos from playing automatically like there is in the windows desktop version of the browser.
-
OMG yes please add extension support for mobile. I would KILL to have Augmented Steam on my phone.

as for the issue at hand - having extensions would be awesome! I need leechblock

It was considered at length before Vivaldi went into development.

I use Vivaldi on my desktop, but as I'm a crypto user I need TronLink and MetaMask, both are extensions. So I'm forced to use Kiwi browser on my phone, just because of this. Would love to use Vivaldi on both my desktop and phone.
