How to add Firefox extensions in Vivaldi

exnyz

I recently downloaded Vivaldi and was going about installing some privacy extensions (https everywhere, Clean Links, uBlock Origin, etc.) when I noticed that most of them are firefox only. I had a quick go at installing them manually but couldn't figure it out. Does anyone know a way to install firefox extensions in Vivaldi? Help appreciated.

You can't, different format, different APIs.
You can check chrome store for similar ones

@iAN-CooG Alright, thanks for letting me know.

If they are built using the chrome api, which Firefox supports, you should be able to install them with a bit of finageling.

Download the xpi
Unzip it
Visit the extensions page and turn on developer mode
Open the folder you unzipped as an unpacked extension

Note however that if there is even a single non chrome API call it will not work.

It's probably not worth the hassle, especially for extensions available on the chrome Web store.
