Solved Support Extensions

SheikhAzharuddin

@LonM but those are opened since years! I understand it is not possible to enable full extension support in Vivaldi but atleast give us few like ublock origin..the inbuilt adblockers are either detected in some sites which ask to disable ad blocker or they don't work effectively like in YouTube I still see some ads or black screen

UBlockOrigin is one of the most complex extensions there is. It probably would require full extension support to get it.

If you're having trouble with YouTube you might be better off using a dedicated app like the official app, or an open source one like newpipe.

+1 for extension support. Lemur browser supports extensions now also. But Vivaldi on Android is Top browser. Extension support along with background play option now supported = perfect Android browser 200%. Devs PLEASE make extension support happen !

@LonM uBlock Origin support in Vivaldi Snapshot on Android much better choice.

Hi Everyone,
At one point in time I used to feel as though having extensions would be pretty great to have, but the developers have seemingly added some additional settings that now make me feel like we really don't need them.

@Davy49 Part of the Vivaldi concept is to have everything you actually need, built in to the browser. This makes development and maintenance labor-intensive, sometimes slow-seeming, but it's the reason there is a Vivaldi. So...

There is no user stylesheet and no user script in Vivaldi.
An example of extensions I need (so I use Kiwi browser on smartphone): Violentmonkey and Stylus.

So yes, we still need extensions.

Has the official Vivaldi team given a positive response to supporting extensions?

@bauw No, that won't work, see here:

@stardepp Thank you for letting me know. There is no need to have any expectations anymore.

@LonM Totally agree hopefully in the future it is possible, imagine being able to have extensions in an efficient and lightweight browser, it would be a great achievement.
I hope you take this opinion into account, and it does not remain in the air

Except of course extensions would make it no longer efficient or lightweight...

Has the Vivaldi Dev teams stance not changed from "Will Not Do"?
They could at least have some limited extensions available for Vivaldi-Android.
I personally am just looking for uBlock and SponsorBlock.

@ChandlerMosby

WILL NOT DO means that will not be implemented, not now and not in the future.

Vivaldi for Android already has a built-in ad blocker. And this can be extended with your own block lists.

Having a peek on kiwi browsers extension support could be very informative, they even encourage it. The code is open-source on github so it should not be too difficult to implement since it does not have to be built from the ground up. As a programmer I understand that it will not be as easy as copy paste but it seems more doable since they released their source code

Vivaldi officially does not adapt extension functions, but it also mentions feedback on extensions in some settings feedback. The currently supported extension browsers are kiwi, mask, yandex, Monkey Fox, etc. Among them, Kiwi is open source, so Vivaldi can do it at the technical level, but the official choice will not do it. It should be more related to the relationship with friends and businessmen than other reasons, such as team members or other reasons, because there are many individuals in the Chinese area. Developers are also making browsers that support extensions, and they are very good, such as Yumi. I still hope that the official can add extended adaptation. This is the perfect vivaldi.
