About time. I'm tempted to switch back to Mull from Bromite, but I'm worried about the security of Firefox compared to Chromium (that's why I switched in the first place), I've heard that particularly Mobile Firefox has awful sandboxing and bad security, I'm pretty sure it was the GrapheneOS team saying this? I'm no security expert though...

No, no, no! It was supporting all the desktop extensions. For years. Until the damn buggy rewrite for no good reason. And then we were suddenly left with like 5 of them.

For a year after that I was still running the last stable release. But unfortunately the web evolves too fast.

The more extensions you install in your browser, the more easier is to track your behavior on internet.

They probably mean official browsers, not random forks.

How is Kiwi less a browser than firefox? Non-sense

That's nice,but it would have been great to get certificates into Firefox mobile. Those are exclusive to Chrome browsers and that sucks.

safari has been able to do this for years

~~Vivaldi~~ I meant Kiwi (chromium) also uses the regular chrome web store.

Also, I thought there was a previous version of Firefox Mobile that had access to the desktop add-ons site.
