@S_Paternotte I fully agree. This would be ideal.

regardless of the claim above vivaldi both mobile and desktop will have to eventually create and include their own adblocker like brave has. with google ultimately blocking the installation of adblockers in the future it will be up to the various browser creators to circumvent what google wants so the enduser gets what they want and expect.
Jon has explicitly said they will not develop an ad blocker. Should Manifest v3 actually remove the webRequest functionality that extensions like uBlock Origin and others rely on, Vivaldi has said they will likely expose the necessary functionality to extension developers so they can continue to provide the same level of ad & tracker blocking they do today. This is the Vivaldi way, providing users the flexibility to configure & extend the browser as they desire. That said, it remains to be seen how all this will play out. The changes to the API effect more than just blockers, and the final functionality is not set in stone. I don't have faith that Google in the end will make things easy for blocking extension developers, though I do have faith that Vivaldi will respond to any changes and enable users to have the features the want.

glad to hear vivaldi will be proactive where the code is concerned if google should follow through with their threat, and before you comment yes many of us consider it a threat.
Oh, I agree. Raymond did what he could to explain why a wholly declarative API is insufficient to support what UBO and other powerful blocking extensions are doing in the official issue. Google's response was nothing more than lip service to the extension devs, suggesting the issue was only opened as a PR tool - they can say the listened to the devs and tell the public their solution offers enough protection.

@lonm Chrome never supported extensions on mobile.
And always been quite heavy on cpu/ram on my phone, like Firefox (even without extensions).
But most useful extensions may actually work on android.Hmm, that's strange. Kiwi browser is a Chrome fork on Android, even in the Play Store and last time I checked, it allows you to install Chrome extensions as if you were on desktop.
Right now Kiwi is the only mobile browser for me that is worth using.

@Deyirn Yeah, I said that in a later post

why delete posts?

@callionifabio The posts were deleted as they were getting incredibly off topic. This topic is about supporting extensions on android.

Definitely need extensions. If I could install Dark Reader and uBlock then Vivaldi would be the only browser I need on mobile.

For me it would be very helpful to have 'Vanilla-Chrome' available to manage cookies. I use it with the desktop Vivaldi.
Is there another option to manage, delete cookies on Vivaldi for Android? -
@Stardust said in Support Extensions:
Ublock Origin
I can only agree to that! A support of extensions for Vivaldi Android, especially for bloockers, would be very desirable and would make the browser much more attractive.

Instead of admitting extensions, it would be enough to be able to import the corresponding uBlock and nano filters, all available on github. That would not be necessary go through the Chrome Store.
I use Kiwi as a second browser, which supports Chrome extensions, but installing them there is quite messy on a mobile.>Laptop ACER, AMD Ryzen, GPU AMD Radeon RAM 16GB, SSD 512GB -Win11 Home 64 v24H2| Vivaldi last stable|

This topic is specifically about extensions, though.
Extensions also include things powerful like user script engines (Violent/Tamper/Grease monkey), not only blockers.I use Kiwi as a second browser, which supports Chrome extensions, but installing them there is quite messy on a mobile.
In Firefox for Android, for instance, it is not messy.
But the problem with Vivaldi for Android is probably indeed the fact that Chrome browser and store have no support for mobile.
