FF Android has had Addon support for a while now

True, but FF is wayy slower on low-end devices (like mine).

bitwolf@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 1y (2 replies)

Its slow on high end devices too unfortunately

Oh... Weird. This was on my front page.

And top content in the list.

And now I'm wondering why Firefox is so slow on my pixel 9. Sorry about the necropost!

In case you were a Mull user and are looking for a replacement, IronFox is a fork of Mull.

What happened to mull?

reseller_pledge609@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 8 pts · 1y

Died along with its parent project, DivestOS.

Edit: Of course the link is dead. First relevant link about the news.

I saw their repo but why not on standard F-Droid?

reseller_pledge609@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 1 pts · 1y (2 replies)

I think that depends on F-droid themselves building it. Ironfox have a github and their own F-droid repo, so you've got options at least.

That's a store I'm not familiar with but choice is good.

lemmeBe@sh.itjust.works · 4 pts · 1y

Yep. Using it for about 10 days. It was a drop-in replacement.

Nooo! It was my main browser since they added extensions. While I also have Firefox installed, a chromium browser is still necessary because sites still prioritize that engine. And I am not gonna install edge or Samsung browser on my phone. Hoping for a community edition soon.

Lojcs@lemm.ee · 7 pts · 1y (2 replies)

Cromite?

mediocreme_ow@lemm.ee · 4 pts · 1y

Cromite has no extension support though.

Thanks!

Shit, I really liked this one. Does anyone know of another android browser that lets you see the console/inspect element panel?

april@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 1y (1 reply)

Is there any other chromium android browser that supports extensions?

hexagonwin@lemmy.sdf.org · 1 pts · 1y

afaik only closed source ones for now unfortunately. (yandex, etc)

RiQuY@lemm.ee · 3 pts · 1y (1 reply)

Cromite fits imo.

reseller_pledge609@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 4 pts · 1y

Cromite for Chrome and IronFox for Firefox. Cromite doesn't support extensions, but Ironfox does.
