At least with firefox beta, you can create your own collection of extensions and use those. That's what I do and I can install any extension.

I have it on Firefox Nightly with the dev stuff. It's pretty great tbh
Not all extensions appear to be compatible at the moment. I know if I add a couple of my favorite desktop extensions to my collection that it breaks.
Hmm... interesting. I'm able to use ublock and two extensions for fanfiction. That's interesting that it just breaks for you.
Maybe you're lucky with your extensions of choice.
I'm not saying all extensions I tried adding broke the collection - only a couple did; the other extensions worked as expected.
Yeah I suppose so. I have a BUNCH of extension on my desktop Firefox, but I don't need much on my mobile version tbh. Especially since I have a few extensions that work for websites that already have apps (like I have sponsorblock and pockettube for YouTube but there's no point in installing them on my mobile FF since I have the YouTube app so...).
I actively don't use the YouTube app.
No adblocker, sponsorblock, or return the dislike button.
I also don't use the app for a website if the mobile website is good enough. Less software on my phone, so a reduced amount of storage used on apps, fewer updates, hopefully reduced CPU and battery consumption, fewer security issues, reduced data collection, and my phone is just a little cleaner to use. Everyone has their own preference, this is just mine :)
Fair enough. You're a far stronger person then I am haha.
