    Sorry Firefoxbros, I went back to Bromite on Android (unless Mozilla releases an update that adds unrestricted WebExtension support on mobile). Honestly, somehow Chromium-based browsers feel smoother on my phone than Firefox.

    I’m still in love with Firefox desktop btw. Ain’t no other browsers on the market that has containers (and temporary containers!). Also the fact that Firefox desktop UI is just one giant HTML page that can be rethemed using custom CSS (userChrome.css) makes it awful for performance, but I adore that awfulness.

      If you use Firefox nightly (and maybe some of the other beta branches too, I’m not sure), there’s a way to get any extension, they just might not work properly. I haven’t really had issues with nightly, despite it being such a bleeding-edge build - although I would recommend keeping a backup browser since sometimes it decides to just stop working

      I’ve been using Bromite too.

      Can anyone suggest a site to sideload firefox? Very unsure about what’s trustworthy any more.

        You have some options, I guess (and I’m assuming that you are sideloading to Android):

        • That one app repository called “G**gle Play”
        • Sites dedicated to keeping copies of APKs from that repo. There’s only APKmirror that I trust.
        • FFUpdater, an app for downloading and updating Firefox, Chromium and their forks (including Bromite). The app is also available on F-Droid.
        • Fennec F-Droid, a fork of Firefox without proprietary blobs that Mozilla added into the official Firefox releases. Also available on F-Droid.

          Thanks for the info.

          Android, correct. And I avoid g! so I don’t have a g! play acct. I do have F-droid so I will check out those you suggest.

            I really like Mull and it’s on FDroid I’m pretty sure. It’s a good Firefox fork.
