    I like that they’re opening it up, but I don’t see any “must have” extensions beyond what I already have.

    Anybody have any news on Firefox inbuilt translations? It would be fantastic if it made its way to android

    Any recommendations? I had all the extensions I needed for some time now. Maybe except cookie autodelete. Should I install cookie autodelete or with the 3rd party cookies disabled it’s not really needed?

        It’s a godsend and apparently installable in mobile Firefox, though not searchable or shown as available in the list of mobile extensions

    I have tried to use Firefox on mobile for specifically this reason. Kept using for 2 weeks and just gave up because browsing experience was super laggy on S23 Ultra even with noscript (e.g. Framework laptop website). Switched to Cromite. I don’t think I’m coming back to Firefox unless they do something about user experience and smoothness first, no matter the extensions count.

    Dear Mozilla, we really appreciated your intentions but we don’t need more extensions but Gecko Webview to compete against Google’s monopoly in this area. Chrome-based browsers are far ahead when it comes to security, see for example the GrapheneOS team of developers who preferred to adopt a Chromium-based browser rather than adopting Firefox as the default browser, they don’t even recommend using it

      GrapheneOS isn’t a benchmark, it’s a choice of a random distro essentially, others choose differently.

      If you think Chromium is safer or more secure than Firefox, you are mistaking, just take a look at the changelogs of both

        Changelog is not the point but the fundamental concepts and techniques. And unfortunately Chromium is far ahead.

        Graphene as the most hardened OS is the benchmark. It’s not random. Please inform.

      I’m not a security expert so I can’t say if your right on that point, but somehow I trust the Mozilla foundation much more than Google. Isn’t the whole point of their browser to allow them to spy on you?
