We will be doing maintenance work on Vivaldi Translate on the 11th of May starting at 03:00 (UTC) (see the time in your time zone).
Some downtime and service disruptions may be experienced.
Thanks in advance for your patience.
Solved Support Extensions
-
@Catweazle Only browser extensions (like Violentmonkey and Stylus) allow you to improve websites, not apps.
Therefore I've been using Kiwi for years. -
@jesus2099, depends of what you mean with improving websites
>Laptop ACER, AMD Ryzen, GPU AMD Radeon RAM 16GB, SSD 512GB -Win11 Home 64 v24H2| Vivaldi last stable|

@Catweazle
When possible, adding useful features, bug workarounds, etc. without waiting for devs.The raison d'être of userscripts.

@Catweazle said in Support Extensions:
the question is which Backdoors leaves EDGE open, with so much DIY and pre-select extensions. I think I prefer to make use of the good number of apps available in F-Droid for security and privacy, which more than make up for the lack of browser extensions, apart from that Vivaldi already has a built-in ad/trackerblocker.
Firefox for Android already uses extensions. And guess what: the sky didn't fall in on it. But I'm sure the god of browsers will punish them for this audacity! How dare they!
Honestly, what user wants to use a modern browser that makes him more productive and the work with the browser meets his/her needs?! Nonsense. For example: I don't need my phone's browser to read me the news when I've locked my phone and when I have locked my phone and am listening to the news on my headphones, nor to summarize a text/article for me. This is also the nonsense of spoiled consumers!
-
@ivan-a-petkov actually nothing is written in the stone. I recall also the native adblocker was tagged as WILLNOTDO years ago
-
Any news on this? I'm waiting for it to switch from Firefox to Vivaldi on my phone...
uBlock Origin is really useful, is there any feature on mobile Vivaldi that could do something similar? (content blocker so browser don't load in page ads and the likes)
-
We should request Extensions support for Android at Chromium feedback
-
@greendotbluebox They're removing MV2 support in desktop Chromium to combat adblockers. No chance would they add extension support to finally make it possible on mobile.
-
"Google is testing a new version of Chrome for Android with extensions support"
Never, ever,.... Solved.
Don't innovate, just follow the stream!Finally, every major browser will have extensions. Including Vivaldi.
-
I read somewhere that Google is doing this for Chromebook version of Chrome. I have no hopes about it coming for android chrome... It's too much tracking and ad for Google to give up... I bet it will never come to android chrome engine.
If I had to guess I would put my hopes on another mobile browser getting extensions before android Chrome.
-
How come Edge, Kiwi, Lemur, and Yandex are all able to support extensions? It must be possible to add extensions on top of the existing Android Chromium. It's too bad this hasn't been added yet. Vivaldi would be the go-to browser I'd recommend to everyone if it was.
-
Now Kiwi is no longer maintained, unfortunately.
I am again in search for a new good Android browser with:
- Full Violentmonkey support (using browser extension store)
- Full Stylus support (using browser extension store)
- WebDev tools (JavaScript debug console, CSS element inspector, Network inspector, Storage inspector, ...)
- Copy link text context menu item
(I'm using Kiwi on mobile and Vivaldi on PC)

@IceBlueLugia
Hello,
welcome here, enjoy the 'Vivaldiverse'.On a tip, I would like to send you a private message.
This function is activated by default.
You would have to activate it yourself.
-
@ingolftopf Alright, I fixed the setting. Send me it whenever you can. If you know how realistic or likely it is to extension support on Vivaldi someday that’d be great. I love this browser on all platforms but the Android version supporting extensions would make it definitively the best browser out there imo.
-
@IceBlueLugia
You can be sure that Vivaldi is working hard on a solution.
They're not sleeping on a tree.
It won't be easy to integrate this into Vivaldi Android.As always, there is no time line.
It will also be extensively tested internally beforehand.It's ready when it's ready.
As with 'Debian' GNU Linux.I think Vivaldi is already the best browser ever.
-
@IceBlueLugia Unfortunately, Vivaldi isn't able to work on an integration for extensions on Android, as mentioned earlier in this thread. It requires too many changes that need to be maintained across Chromium updates for it to be practical for Vivaldi's relatively small team. They experimented with it in the past and determined it wasn't sustainable. They have marked the request as "Will Not Do".
The likely only way Vivaldi will get extension support is if Edge upstreams their support to the Chromium base or it gets developed by the Chromium developers directly.

@nomadic
Thank you for your correction.
I did not know that.As always, you are very attentive and conscientious.
Thank you very much

This post is deleted! -
I significantly needed the Obsidian Web Clipper extension.. so for now, I have downloaded other browsers to use with extensions on my phone((
It's a shame to understand that the development of this functionality does not depend on the Vivaldi team((
-
@putsan There will be no extensions for Vivaldi Android, which is also clearly indicated in the post title.
This is a final decision.
So it makes no sense to express wishes on this theme.
