Maybe you can checkout Waterfox, a fork of Firefox. I haven't tried it myself, but apparently they implemented support for extensions from the Chrome and Opera stores. If you have issues getting the install button to appear, I saw a comment saying they had to reduce tracking protection on the Chrome store to get the button to appear.

Like I said, it's not that big of a deal and I can live without it.
